Passion Fruit Wine


I had referred to my passion fruit wine in some of my earlier posts and many had requested the recipe…. Made this wine about 2 years ago….. I wanted the wine to mature so that I can click the rich and clear picture and I think it’s worth waiting this long :)…. As you all know by now that I love anything which has passion fruit in it and this wine is not an exception! This is one of my favorites :)… if you get your hands on some passion fruit do try this recipe….




Passion Fruit Wine
(Recipe Source: Vanitha)
Ingredients:
Passion fruit pulp-1kg (without the white pith)
Sugar-1 to 1 1/2kg (if the passion fruit is very sour use 1 1/2kg or use only 1 kg)
Boiled and cooled water- 3 bottles (750ml bottles)
Yeast-1 tsp (I only used ¼ tsp)
Egg white -1 beat nicely

Method:
  • Mix passion fruit pulp, sugar, water and yeast.
  • Beat egg white well and mix well with above mix.
  • Pour this into a clean sterilized bharani / bottle and tie the bottle with a clean cloth or close with lid little loose. Keep aside for 21 days.
  • Stir the mixture with a clean wooden spoon every day.
  • After 21 days, strain the mixture through a cheese/ muslin cloth.
  • Keep the wine in the vessel covered with a clean cloth for 6 hours and again strain the mixture and pour it in to clean dry bottles and use.

    1. Egg white keeps the impurities in sugar etc and give clean wine.

  5. Hi Stephie,
    You can use use other fruits like strawberry also. Egg white is added to prevent fungus formation.. it's optional. Thanks for visiting:)...

  16. Hi Swapna,

    Do I need to add the egg white? Is it to clarify the wine better? I am vegan and would prefer not to.

    I'm currently brewing up a triple batch of lemon wine :) It's smelling great!

    Many thanks for your site.

    1. Yes egg white is added to clarify the wine, you can omit that if you want.
      Hope your lemon wine came out perfect!

  17. Tried it. Awesome output. I just loved the wine and I gave it out for my friends to taste it. People are amused by its flavour. I added some cinnamon apart from your recipe which turned out to be nice for fermentation. Thank you for the recipe.

  19. I have been making this wine for Christmas for the past three years. I cannot imagine Christmas without it. I bought a passion fruit tree so I will always be able to have passion fruit wine. It's the most delicious wine I have ever tasted. Thanks for sharing this recipe with us all. Merry Christmas.

  25. Hi Swapna, I have followed your recipe and made six big jars of the wine, we are living in Cyprus and I am a bit worried about the temperature, as the coolest room we have in the house right now is 28/29 degrees, is this an ok temperature for the wine or will the fermentation process happen to quickly, might I land up with vinegar lol, hope you can help, thank you.

  30. Just racked my first 6l off. Nearly ruined it with the filtration stage. Recovered the acidity with some potassium bicarbonate.
    Looking forward to putting it to the test with the father in law.
