Rambutan Wine

Homemade Rambutan Wine

As usual I am back after a long hiatus ;) ;) If you are a regular reader you would know by now that if I intend to take a short break, it usually drags on for weeks :D
Since Christmas is around the corner, here is a Rambutan wine recipe for you to try. Rambutan is one of my favourite fruits and there are couple of trees in my father’s backyard. When Rambutan is in season, Appa freezes it and keeps it along with passion fruit pulp for me to take it to Kuwait J This is a sweet wine and if you prefer less sweeter wine you may only need to add 750 gms of sugar. Do try this if you get hold of Rambutans and let me know....
