6 oz. raisins
2 1/2 Ib. Demerara sugar

Fresh whortleberries are hard to come by, but the
dried ones are more readily available and this makes a very pleasant red
wine for social purposes. Pour boiling water over the chopped raisins,
dried whortleberries and lemon rind. When cool stir in the nutrient,
acid, pectozyme, Campden tablet and yeast. Ferment for four days, then
strain, stir in the sugar and continue the fermentation. Make sure that
you serve the wine medium sweet.
