SULTANA WINE
5 Ib. chopped sultanas
5 only very ripe bananas
2 lb. sugar
1 gallon water
Rind and juice of 1 large grapefruit
Campden tablet
Pectozyme
Nutrient
Sherry yeast
Pour boiling water on to the chopped sultanas, mashed
bananas (no skins) and the rind of the grapefruit. When cool add the
Campden tablet and a teaspoonful of pectozyme together with the
grapefruit juice, nutrient and fermenting yeast. Ferment on the pulp for
four days, pressing down the cap each day, then strain and press. Stir
in the sugar and continue the fermentation as long as possible. Remember
to plug of cotton wool instead of an air lock and keep the jars not
quite full. This wine needs several rackings and should be matured for
at least one year in bottle before serving like a medium sherry.
