Raspberry Wine Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 2½ lb raspberries
  • ½ lb sultanas
  • 2 ripe bananas

  • Wine yeast

Method:

  1. Put the raspberries into 4 pints of water and heat until just simmering.
  2. Chop the sultanas and mush the bananas and put into the fermenting bin.
  3. Pour the simmering raspberries on top.
  4. Boil half of the sugar in 3 pints of water for 2 or 3 minutes. Allow to cool slightly and then pour into the fermenting bin.
  5. Wen the mixture has cooled thoroughly add the yeast, nutrient and Pectolase.
  6. Cover and ferment for 5 days stirring daily.

  9. Pour into a gallon jar, leaving as much deposit as you can behind.
  10. If the jar is not filled to where the neck begins, fill to this level with cooled boiled water.

  12. Rack, as necessary, and syphon into bottles.
