For those following my wine making adventures, with all the recent nonsense going on I neglected to mention that I started a new batch – from Raspberries. The recipe for this is basically the same as the Blueberry wine recipe that I started the other day. I’ve noticed that I have visitors that have found their way to this blog using search terms on Google that include “wine making recipes.”

So for the benefit of those, here is the recipe that I used:

3 pounds of raspberries
4 1/2 cups of sugar, mixed into water to produce a gallon
1 Teaspoon of yeast nutrient
1 Teaspoon of pectin enzyme
1 Campden tablet
Yeast

The above ingredients, (except of course for the raspberries, sugar and water) may be obtained at your own local wine making supply store.

Again, this won’t be ready for 6 months or so before I can bottle it. I apologise for the long delay that will occur before I taste this!

Oh, I should mention that indeed I used nylon stocking in which I put the crushed raspberries. The proprietor at my local convenience store did look at me funny when I purchased pantyhose from him, and made some joking remarks at my expense. I think he believed me when I told him what the pantyhose was for.
