May this Christmas fill your hearts with
warmth, peace and joy! Have a Holy and a Blessed Christmas!
Hope all of you are ready for
Christmas celebrations with family and friends..... Today’s Christmas special
recipe is Jack Fruit Wine or Chakka Wine.... I got this recipe from my
sister-in-law, Vimala sometime back..... since it is difficult to get Jack Fruit /
Chakka here, or highly priced if available,
I never got a chance to try it.... On my last vacation to Kerala
there were a couple of jack fruits left over from
that season at my mom’s place..... I love chakka and I ate ripe chakka to my heart
content that day.... I even asked my aunt to make some Chakka curry/ puzukku too
with unripened chakka… Chakka curry with kadumanga pickle is heavenly! So even
after eating ripe chakka Chula/ jack fruit bulbs morning, afternoon and evening
there was a lot left over..... and she was planning to make chakka halwa.... Then I
thought about this wine recipe and told her will make some wine..... so we both
made the wine that day and by the time I left Kerala the wine was ready..... so I
took a bottle of wine from there and was waiting for the wine to age..... so here
is how we made the wine....the quantity of water and sugar depends upon the
chakka / jack fruit you use.... You may have to + or - water and sugar accordingly.....
Jack Fruit Wine Recipe / Chakka

As well i want to verify that mouth of bottle for seasoning; to be close tigthtly with a clean piece of cloth without using its lid is'nt it? As far as my knowladge there can be Produce various type of alcohol including methanol which is very harmful to human body in this bottle. If so how can we make this vine without ham full to us. Are we have to be used some sort of evaporation method with controliing tempreture of the mixture? Please explain me howe is it and what type of aparatus to be used.
