Jack Fruit Wine Recipe / Chakka Wine Recipe


May this Christmas fill your hearts with warmth, peace and joy! Have a Holy and a Blessed Christmas!


Hope all of you are ready for Christmas celebrations with family and friends..... Today’s Christmas special recipe is Jack Fruit Wine or Chakka Wine.... I got this recipe from my sister-in-law, Vimala sometime back..... since it is difficult to get Jack Fruit / Chakka here, or highly priced if available, I never got a chance to try it.... On my last vacation to Kerala there were a couple of jack fruits left over from that season at my mom’s place..... I love chakka and I ate ripe chakka to my heart content that day.... I even asked my aunt to make some Chakka curry/ puzukku too with unripened chakka… Chakka curry with kadumanga pickle is heavenly! So even after eating ripe chakka Chula/ jack fruit bulbs morning, afternoon and evening there was a lot left over..... and she was planning to make chakka halwa.... Then I thought about this wine recipe and told her will make some wine..... so we both made the wine that day and by the time I left Kerala the wine was ready..... so I took a bottle of wine from there and was waiting for the wine to age..... so here is how we made the wine....the quantity of water and sugar depends upon the chakka / jack fruit you use.... You may have to + or - water and sugar accordingly.....


Jack Fruit Wine Recipe / Chakka Wine Recipe
Ingredients:
Jack fruit pulp -1 kg (Add enough water to cover 1 kg chakka chula/ ripe jack fruit bulbs and cook well on slow fire. Then beat well in the mixie. This is jack fruit pulp. This should weigh 1 kg).
Sugar- 750 gm to 1 kg
Water – 2 liter
Yeast – ½ tsp
Method:
  • Make a syrup of sugar and water.
  • Dissolve yeast in ½ cup warm water.
  • Mix yeast solution and the jack fruit pulp with the sugar syrup and pour in to a clean sterilize bottle / bharani.
  • Close the mouth of the bottle/ bharani and secure tightly with cloth tied over the mouth.
  • Keep aside for 15 days.
  • Strain and keep for another three days.
  • This wine mellows with age and is best after a month or more.

  11. I am sri lankan, we have both type of Jackfruit that is softone (Vala) and harderone (Varaka)and that both type can be used; is'nt it? As well i want to verify that mouth of bottle for seasoning; to be close tigthtly with a clean piece of cloth without using its lid is'nt it? As far as my knowladge there can be Produce various type of alcohol including methanol which is very harmful to human body in this bottle. If so how can we make this vine without ham full to us. Are we have to be used some sort of evaporation method with controliing tempreture of the mixture? Please explain me howe is it and what type of aparatus to be used.
