MIXED DRIED FRUIT WINE
2 1/2 Ib. mixed dried fruits, such as sultanas,
currants, prunes, and if you wish a few figs and dates
1 gallon water
2 Ib. sugar
1/2 oz. citric acid
Nutrient Sherry yeast
Soak the fruit for twelve hours, then strain and chop
up the fruit, removing any large stones. Add the sugar and pour on
boiling water. Stir thoroughly and when cool add the acid, nutrient and
yeast. Ferment on the pulp for four days, then strain and continue the
fermentation as usual. Remember to use a plug of cotton wool rather than
an air lock and do not fill the jar.
