Tomato wine
Here ya go...
personal notes this is the recipe as I got it. I would modify it as follows: Tie cut up tomatos (LOOSELY) in cheese cloth prior to adding everything into the containers. I tried the coffee filters and they were a real PITA so I ended up using fishtank hose and syphoning it through fine strainers, STILL a big PITA. I was "fried" by the time I got it strained! ;-) I didn't and what a PAIN racking it off. I didn't use the oranges either (I forgot) I'd either cut back on the sugar to about 5 pounds or add more yeast. I did mine last fall and it's starting to taste good but still rather sweet.. You'll need a LARGE container. I used a 5 gallon bucket that I use for brewing beer and believe me, it was FULL. Stirring it was quite a challange. Good thing that I did it in the garage! I could just scrub the floor when done and spray it out with a hose. Also, all the sugar tends to attract bugs so take that into consideration when deciding where to make it and let it ferment. Attributed to gloria p. from rec.food.cooking /personal notes Tomato wine: 6 lb. sugar 6 lb. tomatoes, washed and chopped 1 lb. raisins 6 oranges, washed and cut up (skins included) 1 gal. boiling water 1 pkg. yeast In a very clean crock or food-safe new plastic bucket, mix together the first 5 ingredients. When the mixture has cooled to lukewarm, add yeast and stir well. Cover loosely and stir well daily for 15-20 days or until fermentation stops. Strain, filter (coffee filters work well), and bottle. This keeps forever and gets smoother as it ages. -- Steve |
