Kiwi Wine

As usual I am back after a long hiatus :D :D There are many things which kept me busy ignoring this space of mine. Now that many of my readers & friends started asking me why there are no updates here, I thought I have to find some time to spend here….. after all Christmas is around the corner, here is a wine recipe for all of you to try..… A friend of mine was requesting for this Kiwi Wine for the past several years… I made this wine almost a year back and with aging, the sweetness of this wine reduces significantly and become a very dry wine… So if you prefer sweet wine please add more sugar after fermentation…

Kiwi Wine

Ingredients:

Kiwi – 1 kg

Water – 3 ½ litre

Sugar – 1 kg (250 gm more if you prefer very sweet wine)

Yeast – ¾ tsp

Method:

• Peel and mash kiwi with a potato masher.
• Boil sugar & water and add boiled water to the mashed kiwi and mix well.
• When the mixture becomes lukewarm add yeast and mix well and transfer the mixture into a sterilized bharani / bottle.
• When the mixture cools down completely tie the bottle with a clean cloth or close with lid little loose.
• Stir this mixture every day with a clean and dry spoon.
• After 21 days, strain the mixture through a cheese/ muslin cloth in to a clean dry bottle. You can add more sugar at this time if you prefer sweeter wine.
• Keep this again for 21 days untouched. After 21 days strain the wine again, pour it in to clean dry bottles and use.
