Ingredients:
- 2 ½ kg black grapes
- 1 ½ kg sugar
- 1 ¼ litres water
- 1 Tbsp bakers yeast
- 10 cloves (spice) optional
Method:
- Use a sterilized jar of earthenware or porcelain to store your wine.
- Use fresh grapes, wash them well. Drain.
- Put the grapes in the jar and crush them thoroughly so that the skin is removed from the flesh.
- Close the jar and let sit for 3 hours.
- Meanwhile, heat water bring to a boil.
- Add sugar and stir just until completely dissolved.
- Allow to cool completely.
- Add to the grapes in the jar.
- Next add the yeast ( and cloves if using).
- Stir well with a sterile (wooden) spoon.
- Cover the jar with lid and set aside in a dark spot for 3 weeks.
- Then stir every other day and taste to see if the strong sweetness has lessened.
- Once it has mellowed, strain the contents using a large muslin cloth without forcing any sediment through the cloth. Allow to sit till all the liquid has strained through the cloth.
- After another 2 weeks, you can store in glass bottles with corks.
