Before starting to work with citrus fruit, be sure you have cleaned all fruits thoroughly. Also, because of the highly acidic nature of the fruit, you may want to wear gloves. All of these recipes are simple enough for anyone to try in the comfort of their own kitchen.
Fruits are certainly the most suitable ingredients in making wines. However, it is somewhat hopeless to try making wines from rhubarb as it would be to try to grow potatoes on a peer tree and it is in this respect that many people would go astray; they make wines from the cheapest and most readily available fruits but the fact remains that they do not give the slightest thought to what the result will be or whether they will like it or not.
Lemon wine is not ordinarily made to drink as a wine. In fact, it is often made by experienced wine makers for blending with dried fruit wines which sometimes fall short of acid requirement. But more often it is made as a novelty. It is particularly suitable for making into lemon gin wine. You can delightfully create a perfect wine by using the above directions for making orange wine, but use eight lemons instead of using oranges. Here’s a list of wines suitable for mixing with rum: Root wines with a rather higher than average acid content.
ORANGE WINE. This is a delightful wine that develops a flavor that can readily be likened to an orange-flavored whisky. 12 large oranges, or their equivalent, 4 lb. sugar, oz. yeast, 1 gal. water, nutrient. 1. Drop the whole oranges into boiling water, and push each one under the surface. Then take them out and throw the water away. 2. Cut the oranges into small pieces and pour over them half a gallon of boiled water that has cooled. Cover well, and leave to soak for forty-eight hours, crushing and pressing the peel between the fingers to extract the oil which gives a very special flavour. 3. Boil half the sugar in a quart of water for two minutes and when cooled add this to the orange pulp. Then add the yeast and nutrient. Ferment this in a warm place for five days. 4. Crush, strain through fine muslin or other suitable material and wring out dry. Discard the pulp and return the fermenting liquor to the fermenting vessel, and allow to ferment for a further ten days. Carefully pour off into a gallon jar, leaving as much of the deposit behind as you can. Then boil the rest of the water and sugar together and when cool add to the rest. Then fit fermentation lock or cover as
Another recipe: YELLOW CONVENT WINE 5 bottles of Yellow Convent extract, 3 lb. sugar (or 3 3/4 lb. invert), 1 gal. water, yeast and nutrient. 1.Boil one-third of the sugar in half a gallon of water for two minutes and when cool pour into a gallon glass jar. 2.Then pour in the extract, yeast and nutrient. Cover and ferment for ten days. 3.Then boil another one-third of the sugar and when cool add it to the rest. Cover again and continue to ferment in a warm place for another fourteen days. 4.Then boil the remaining sugar in the rest of the water as before and when cool add to the rest. 5.Cover again and ferment in a warm place until all fermentation has ceased.
