Home Wine Recipies: Apple homemade wine

Apple wine ingredients:

• apples - 2 kg
• sugar - 2.5 glasses
• water - 2 litres
• cinnamon - 1 table-spoons

Carefully wash apples, cut to small pieces, put them in a saucepan. Add water, cinnamon and boil till apples are soft. Let sit overnight.

24 hours later, add balance of ingredients. Stir to dissolve sugar. Stir daily for 5 to 6 days or until frothing ceases. Strain out fruit and squeeze as much juice out of it as you can. Siphon into secondary fermentor and attach airlock.

For a dry wine, rack in three weeks, and every three months for one year.

For a sweet wine, rack at three weeks. Add 1/2 cup sugar dissolved in 1 cup wine. Stir gently, and place back into secondary fermentor. Repeat process every six weeks until fermentation does not restart with the addition of sugar. Rack every three months until one year old.

When wine is ready, strain it again and bottle it. Keep in cool and dark place.
