This wine cooks first in a crockpot for 5 days, then ages for 6-12 months. Worth the wait, but plan ahead!
How To Make Rhubarb Wine
An interesting introduction to making your own rhubarb wine. I takes 5 days to make but the smooth and dry tasting brew made with the subtle tartness from the rhubarb definitely makes this worth trying.
Ingredients
- 10 lb rhubarb
- 2 gal water
- sugar
- 1 orange, finely peeled rind
- 1 lemon, finely peeled rind
- ½ oz ginger root
- 1 oz Isinglass
Instructions
- Wipe rhubarb; cut in small pieces and place in a large crock pot.
- Add cold water, cover closely and leave for 5 days.
- After this time, strain liquid off through a sieve or linen jelly bag.
- Press the liquid out of the pulp without allowing the later to pass through the mesh of sieve or cloth.
-
Measure liquid; allow 3 ½ to 3 ¾ pounds of sugar to each gallon, the amount depending on the acidity of the fruit.
- Stir well and leave for 5 days, stirring twice daily.
-
On the 5th day pour the liquid into a clean cask, dissolve the Isinglass in a little warm water, add this, the root ginger, and the orange and lemon rinds, cover the bung hole tightly with a cloth.
- When liquid ceases to work or bubble, remove the ginger and lemon and orange rind and either bung the cask securely or pour off the wine and bottle it.
- Leave for 6 to 12 months.
