I know this is OT, but do any of you make wine? I'm after a recipe for some
blackberry wine as we picked 22lbs yesterday evening and 12lbs and 14lbs on
the two previous days. I have made one lot of bramble jelly with the first
two lots and will probably do the same with the 22lb, but there'll be easily
similar amounts over the next few days and thought I'd have a go at making
some wine.

Very similar to a recipe we used in the 80s in Saudi Arabia,
but we used a plastic dustbin and a case of fruit juice...

1 litre of juice - actually any juice will do
1 kg of sugar
3 litres of water
small packet of yeast
Boil water and juice together, add sugar and dissolve, place in 4 litre
glass container, stir in yeast when luke warm , put a balloon over the neck
of the bottle and release gases every so often or use a bubble filter.

Drinkable in 1 month - well maybe - I was a lot younger and come to think
about it I could also see then!! Filter before bottling or drink straight
from the 4 litre container whilst sitting on the bonnet of your Landy.
