SPICED APPLE WINE
8 to 10 Ib. mixed windfall apples
1 gallon water
8 oz. chopped raisins
20 cloves
1 oz. bruised root ginger
2 3/4 Ib. sugar
Rind of 1 lemon
Pectozyme
Nutrient
Sherry yeast
Wash the apples and remove any bad parts, crush them
and pour boiling water over them, add the lemon rind, spices, chopped
raisins, and when cool a teaspoonful of pectozyme and a Campden tablet.
Next day add the nutrient and yeast and ferment on the pulp for four
days, pressing down the cap each day. Strain, press and stir in the
sugar and continue fermentation in the usual way for sherry. This wine
has a most piquant and pleasing flavour when well matured.
