1 kg black sweet grapes
1 kg sugar
2 litres water
1/4 teaspoon baker's yeast
Wash the grapes we.. crush them well with the sugar. Add water and yeast and leave aside in a jar or a suitable vessel for 21 days. Open and stir the mixture every alternate day. After 21 days strain the mixture and leave aside for the sediments to settle. Strain once again then transfer to bottles.
To add more colour to the wine. Burn some sugar with a little rum / brandy/ wine in a saucepan. When the sugar gets caramelised add to the wine and mix well. It will then have a lovely rich colour.
Note: For making larger quantities of wine, increase the ingredients accordingly

ReplyDeleteThanks,

How much rum and burnt sugar, Bridget
ReplyDeleteAnita you could burn about 2 tablespoons of white sugar with about 1 cup of rum. You could also add more rum or whiskey or brandy to the wine later to give it a good punch!!
