mIEKAL,

I found 2 gooseberry wine recipes that call for 1 gallon of boiling water; one over 3# of ripe gooseberries (with sugar, no yeast), the other over 6# of ripe gooseberries (with sugar, raisins and yeast).

 

Do you want me to e-mail the complete recipes?

Subject: [NAFEX] wine recipes with ribes juice

 

Anyone have a recipe for currant / gooseberry wine which has

measurements for juice rather than fresh fruit.  Made my first pass at

the steam juicer, the juice is remarkably clear, clean, nuttin but

juice.  It took a lot longer than I thought, maybe an hour & a half for

5-6 pounds of fruit but I got 3/4 gallon of juice from that amount

which is easily double what I would have gotten using my old hand

squishing methods.

 

Since fruit production is pretty sketchy this year with all the rain,

Im hoping to make wine with all my ribes together.  gooseberries,

black, white & red currant & jostaberries.
