Cherry Wine Recipe

True love is like a fine wine, the older the better ~ Fred Jacob



This post was pending since Christmas.... Somehow never published it at that time. Since it is Valentine’s Day today I see a lot of red, pink & chocolate colored posts all over the blog world, I thought of adding some red colour to my space as well even though it’s pretty late for a Valentine’s Day special :D....... Wishing all my romantic readers A Happy Valentine’s Day!




Cherry Wine
Preparation and Cooking Time – about 30 minutes
Ready to use– after 35 days
Yield – 5-6 liters

Ingredients:
Fresh cherries - 1kg
Sugar - 1.25kg
Water - 4 liters
Yeast - 1/2 tsp
Method:
  • Separate cherries from its stalk and wash the cherries well. Wipe water from each cherry very well and keep aside. 
  • Boil the water and keep aside to cool down slightly to lukewarm. 
  • In a big bharani / bottle add sugar, cherries and lukewarm water, stir well. Sprinkle yeast on top and mix well after 5 minutes. 
  • When the mixture cools down tie the bottle with a clean cloth or close with lid little loose. 
  • Stir this mixture every day for 5 minutes and try to mash the cherries with the back of the wooden spoon while stirring.
  • After 20 days, strain the mixture through a cheese/ muslin cloth in to a clean dry bottle.
  • Keep this again for 14 days untouched. After 14 days strain the wine again, pour it in to clean dry bottles and use.
