Making Apricot Wine

Yesterday evening, I started a very small batch of apricot wine. I started with four fresh apricots, sugar, and water. Currently covered with a cotton towel to ferment in a metal bowl. 

Update on Spiced Pear Wine

I strained the small batch of spiced pear wine that I am making, and it is in a small glass bottle so that it can continue to ferment and ripen.

Making Spiced Pear Wine

I had three VERY ripe Bartlett pears. My intent is to try to make a small amount of a drier, less sweet spiced pear wine. 

To the pears, I added a small amount of white granulated sugar, a good bit of cinnamon and cloves, and a small amount of cardamom. Now fermenting in a metal bowl, covered by a cotton dishcloth. 

Update on Making Strawberry Wine

I strained the liquid and bottled my strawberry wine in progress...let's see what happens.... 

Making Strawberry Wine

I had about half of a pound container of overripe strawberries that were starting to mold tonight. I covered them in sugar in a metal bowl and added water. My first try at making strawberry wine. Now fermenting....

Sour Orangicello

Cut two sour oranges into chunks, added some sugar and water.....let's see what happens! 

Homemade Blueberry Lemon Wine

Today I started a micro batch of homemade lemon blueberry wine.

Recipe? Laughing....there isn't one! Purely the amounts and ingredients that I felt like adding. I took one pint of fresh North Carolina blueberries, and added just enough sugar to coat them once water was added to cover them in a soup bowl. To that, I added four small chunks of fresh lemon, squeezing the juice in first, then the lemon chunks themselves. I covered the bowl with a cotton towel to ferment.
