Recipes for the preparation of a wine drink
If everything you need is already at hand, thenLet's start the process of making wine. First, prepare the container where the wine from jam will be stored. It can be enamel, ceramic or glass, but not metal, so that the oxidation process does not occur. You can take a 3-liter jar and wash it thoroughly with soda, rinse it several times with warm running water and pour boiled water from the kettle over it. Now you need to pour water into a saucepan and put it on the fire. Using a tablespoon, put homemade jam, half a glass of sugar, and washed raisins into a glass container. To make the wine even tastier, you can mix several types of jam. For example, add sour to sweet or add a spoonful of honey to the preserves. This way, you will get a new recipe for wine with a subtle honey flavor. After the water in the saucepan boils, it should be cooled to room temperature and poured into a container with jam and raisins. Mix all ingredients well and close with a nylon cap. Place the bottle in a dark room and forget about it for now.
What is the process of fermentation?
After about 10 days, you need to open the lid.Carefully, using gauze and a spoon, remove the pulp from the surface. Pour the squeezed thick mixture from the pulp into a saucepan. This product of primary fermentation is usually called wort. To speed up the fermentation process, you can add a little yeast for baking bread or wine, but not beer. Pour it into a well-washed jar. Now take a rubber glove and pierce its ends with a needle. Put it on the neck of the jar, and put the jar itself back in a dark, cool place for about 3 months. Usually this time is enough for the wort to ferment and infuse. The color of the wine should be transparent. Now, in order to store homemade wine from jam, you will need to take glass bottles with a capacity of 500 or 700 ml. It is not recommended to take plastic bottles, as the alcoholic drink may spoil. Using a dish brush, thoroughly wash the container, turn it over and let the water drain. Now remove the glove from the neck of the jar and pour the wine into bottles using a special tube. It should be noted that this must be done carefully so as not to disturb the sediment formed as a result of fermentation. Close the bottles with wooden stoppers and again leave in a dark, cool room for about 2 months. After the above period has elapsed, homemade wine from jam is ready for consumption. It is recommended to leave it in the refrigerator for a while beforehand, and then pour it into a decanter. Wine from old jam can be made not only in this way. Now there are various recipes and modifications, and everyone chooses what they like best, depending on what ingredients are available. For example, in a liter jar of jam you need to pour 1 glass of unwashed rice or millet, add fresh yeast (20 g) and pour in warm boiled water. This recipe is also good because you can experiment with the taste and infuse the wine with mint, cinnamon, vanilla, cloves, and mint. You should also take into account the fact that the wine alcoholic drink turns out to be quite strong (about 10 degrees), so it is important to have a sense of proportion.
