Ingredients

  • 1 gallon of water
  • 2 pounds of sugar
  • 6-8 pounds of your desired fruit

Instructions

  • To make fruit wine, freeze 6-8 pounds of your favorite fruit for a few days beforehand.
  • Bring 1 gallon of water and 2 pounds of sugar to a boil.
  • Pour the boiling sugar water over your desired fruit, stir, and then cover tightly.
  • Next day, mash the fruit and stir in the yeast. Cover the mixture again. Continue to uncover and stir once a day for a week.
  • Strain the mixture and pour it into glass jugs. Leave a few inches of room in each bottle. Place the jugs in a dark, cool place.
  • In one month, siphon the wine into new jugs to clear out any sediment or fruit matter from the bottom.
  • Age the wine for as long as appropriate, which will depend on the type of fruit you’re using.
