Gooseberry Wine Recipe
Ingredients:
- About 12 cups of gooseberries, rinsed with cold water
- 1/4 teaspoon wine yeast
- 1 gallon boiling water
- 6 cups sugar
Direction:
- Crush the gooseberries with your hands or a potato masher until
the skins are broken.
- Pour the boiling water over the crushed gooseberries then cover
with a porous lid.
- Allow to soak for forty-eight hours.
- Crush or stir the fruit once more, then strain through
cheesecloth into a large nonreactive pot.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, then remove from heat right
away.
- Bring the heated juice back to the bucket, add the sugar and
stir using a long nonreactive spoon.
- Stir thoroughly until sugar is dissolved.
- Sprinkle the yeast on top when the liquid has cooled to
lukewarm. Cover with a loose-fitting lid and stocking and allow to
ferment for fourteen days.
- In a clean glass container, strain the liquid and cover as
appropriate.
- The fine will be ready for bottling in six to twelve months.
