I have a recipe for Raspberry Wine which utilises the mush left after making Raspberry Jelly in the usual way.

 

Would anyone be interested?

 

(Apart from Kate that is )

[Mrs Frugal]

Well you never know, someone might be interested so post it just in case .

[Lesley]

And I'd like to know how to make Raspberry jelly 'the usual way'. I don't get many leftover raspberries after making a Rowntrees Jelly

[Lesley]

Rowntrees is dead cow

 

Raspberry Jelly..... in the same way as Redcurrant Jelly - a spread, in a jar, type of jelly.......does that make sense now?

 

Raspberry Jelly

 

4 lbs Raspberries

1 lemon

Sugar (Preserving or Jam)

 

Add a small amount of water and juice of lemon to the raspberries and simmer until the fruit is very soft. Mash the fruit well.

 

Strain the fruit through a jelly bag (or double layer of muslin lining a seive) overnight. Do not squeeze the bag.

Measure the juice into a preserving pan and bring to the boil.

Add sugar - 1lb for 1 pint of the original juice when it was measured.

When sugar has dissolved, bring back to the boil and boil until setting point is reached.

 

Pot into sterilised jars.

 

Raspberry Wine

 

1 lemon

1 Camden tablet

1 tsp. Pectolase

1 tsp. Yeast Nutrient

1 sachet of GP Yeast (General Purpose yeast sufficient for 1 gallon)

2 1/2 lbs white sugar (two and a half pounds)

 

Take the mush left from the jelly making and place into a plastic fermentation bin.

Add the sugar.

Pour on 6 pints of boiling water,and stir to dissolve the sugar .

Add juice and rind of the lemon.

Allow to cool and add 1 Campden tablet, dissolved, and Pectolase.

 

Leave for 24 hours.

 

Then mix yeast, yeast nutrient and a tsp. of sugar with a drop of cooled, boiled water. Once this has started working, add to the raspberries.

 

Leave, covered, in a warm place, for 7-10 days, stirring daily.

 

Strain into a demi-john, fit an airlock and keep in the warm to ferment to dryness.

Rack and bottle in the usual way.

Store bottles away from daylight or wrap bottles in brown paper, to preserve the colour.

 

Ready in 6 months.

 

 

It is years since I last made this and I assume that all the ingredients are still available? Brew shops should be able to advise if any have changed name etc.

[Mrs Frugal]

The Pectolase, Campden tablets etc are all available from large branches of Wilkinsons. I got some yesterday strangely enough!

Thanks Kate
