As usual I am back after a long hiatus ;) ;) If you are a regular
reader you would know
by now that if I intend to take a short break, it usually drags on for weeks :D
Since Christmas is around the corner, here is a
Rambutan wine recipe for you to try. Rambutan is one of my favourite fruits and
there are a couple of trees in my
father’s backyard. When Rambutan is in
season, Appa freezes it and keeps it along with passion fruit pulp for me to take it
to Kuwait J This
is a sweet wine and if you prefer less sweeter wine you may only need to add
750 gms of sugar. Do try this if you get hold of Rambutans and let me know....

Vanitha)

DeleteWhat is the purpose of the egg? I am vegan and don’t use eggs. Can this step be omitted? Thank you so much for for your recipes! I am making your guava wine tonight.
ReplyDeleteYou can omit ehh white. Egg white is adding to make the wine clear
DeleteHello. Can I omit cloves and cinnamon sticks? Are they necessary for the process? I have problem on buying those ingredients, because they are so expensive here in the Philippines.
ReplyDeleteEy wtf do we really not need to remove the seeds?
ReplyDeleteI've followed your recipe and my Rambutan wine is delicious! After a couple of glasses though, i become very sleepy, is there something in the wine that would cause this?
