Dandelion Wine

	Dandelion Wine Photo by: Per Ola Wiberg Spring is here and soon yards will be sprouting those little yellow flowers. A great solution to the dandelion problem is to make wine with them. This recipe was taking from “Making Wild Wines and Meads” and will make a 1 gallon batch. 6 cups dandelion petalsÂ Â 2 pounds sugarÂ Â 1 pound light raisinsÂ Â 1 tablespoon acid blendÂ Â 1 campden tabletÂ Â 1 pack wine yeastÂ Â 1 teaspoon yeast nutrientÂ Â 1 1/2 cups orange juiceÂ Â 1 teaspoon pectin enzymeÂ Â Â Wash and prepare dandelion petals. Place them and sugar, raisins and acid blend into fermenter. Bring 1 gallon of water to a boil and pour it into the mixture. Add a campden tablet and let the mixture sit for 24 hoursÂ Â Add pectin enzyme and yeast and allow to ferment for 3 days. Then rack over and allow to finish fermenting. This should take about 3 months. Rack 1 more time and allow to clear. Then bottle.Â Â Should be ready for sampling in about 6 months.Â Technorati Tags: Wine, Winemaking, Flowers, Spring Similar Posts: None Found Get New Posts Delivered To Your E-Mail No Comments » No comments yet.
