How
are the Christmas preparations coming along? I hope at least some of you have
tried some wine this year. If you are on the lookout for recipes
for baking Christmas Cakes & Cookies you can search my older posts.
Today’s recipe for Pineapple Wine is one of the most requested
recipes by my readers. The best part of this wine is that you can use every
part of the pineapple to make the wine, the skin, the centre core and the flesh,
there is no wastage at all. I must warn you that Pineapple wine is considered
to be one of the strongest wines, so please be careful while consuming :D
:D
Pineapple Wine
Ingredients:
Pineapple - 2 kg (around 2
big pineapples)
Sugar -2 kg

ReplyDeleteI use normal dry yeast that we uses in baking. If you get wine yeast you can use that too. You can add more sugar after 21 days if you feel wine is not sweet enough for you!
DeleteWill you deliver wine. Because I want to give one bottle to make nephew. So can you help me with sending one bottle of wine
ReplyDeleteNice wine recipe, Swapna. Instead of orange juice I used juice from 4 limes. It worked well.

You have to keep the wine for aging for a couple of months, that will also allow the sedimets to settle down to get crystel clear wine...
DeleteHi Swapna, we are trying this today. Will let u know how it turns out. Can u make videos as well?
ReplyDeleteHi, do let me know how it turns out... I will try my best to make videos next time :)
DeleteHi, after harvesting, must I keep the liquid in the refrigerator for the next 21 days ?
ReplyDeleteHi should I leave the harvested liquid in the refrigerator for the next 21 days ?
ReplyDeleteHi Swapna, what is the purpose of the 2nd 21 days ?
ReplyDelete2nd 21 days will help the sediments to settle , so that you will get a crystel clear wine. Also it helps the wine to mature.
DeleteYou don't have to keep the wine in the refrigerator.
ReplyDeleteThere are wineries and grape plantations that exist just for the elite creation of mass wine. Just, there are grape plantations (just as wineries),https://glassbottlewholesale.com/50ml-glass-bottles/
ReplyDeleteWell, if we consider there is 4.5l water plus 2litres from pineapple flesh+orange juice, we have some 6.5litres of juice, 100g of fresh pineapple=9.85g of sugar, so 197 g in 2 kg, total sugar 2.197 kg or 338g/litre which should give 17.35% alcohol, baking yeast cannot handle more than 10-12%, so we should use wine yeast here, or less sugar. In fact, yeast will die, and the wine will be sweet. We grow pineapple here and I'll give it a try, thank you for your input.
ReplyDeleteHi can I leave out the citrus component or is it a necessity?
