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.
