Homemade Wine

https://www.wisdomforpennies.com

Well as I am enjoying this beautiful fall day in Florida. I thought I would share this recipe with you today. I hope everyone is enjoying the freedom that fall brings into the front door of your very soul! If I could, I would be doing cartwheels! Fall just soothes my soul to the maximum joy, like a child at play in the rain, with the first signs of spring about to burst forth!

This is a very cheap way to make wine and not have to purchase all the expensive items to go along with your brewing experience.

All you will need is three little items. First a bottle of juice that is 100 percent juice, but it will say concentrated. Pour out 2 cups of the juice and drink it. Next your add the sugar and yeast below.

Some sugar. 1 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 tsp. yeast

Put the top on for now and shake it, like crazy for a while until it is mixed well. Now please do not forget to leave the top LOOSE, when you put it back on the jug. If you close it tightly, then it will explode.

Put this under your kitchen sink or in a dark place for 3 to 4 weeks.

To decant your wine, you just use a siphoning hose and transfer from the jug to another, without disturbing the contents at the bottom of the jug. This was my first time making the wine and decanting also. Please do not use a skinny hose like I did! It took a lot of tries and I lost my card game for the first time in a long running streak!

But the grape juice turned into a strong wine. And I would do this one again!

Thanks for visiting and while you are here, please check out a few more posts as this helps my little blog grow. Please do come back soon. I post on Tue-Thur- and Saturdays.

Here’s looking at you kid! Tastes just like Sangria!

Crisp Apples

This recipe came from my all-time favorite blog! Over at https://www.whipporwillholler. Mrs. Lori Brown and Mr. Brown are two beloved people to me and many others. So I hope you visit them also!

I had 2 bags of McIntosh apples (my favorite). I peeled and used an apple cutter and hand cut out the little bit of hard core left on the slices. As I had so many apples I did 5 at a time so I could get them into my large bowl with 1/4 cup of lemon juice in the bowl so the apples would not turn ugly brown. As I put in each set of sliced apples, I used my hane to rotate top apples to the bottom so all had lemon juice on them.

Next I used a large stoneware crock as I have always wanted to use a crock and have for a few things now! You layer apple slices and sugar. I only used a total of two cups of sugar throughout the whole process. My friend (Lori Brown) used a cup for each layer but I always use less sugar in everything I make!

When fished with sugar being the top layer, nothing fits my crock except for a maxwell house coffee container lid and on top of this I put a heavy jar of jelly to weigh it down. Next I put a clean dishtowel over top of all and use a thick rubber-band to go around towel and the crock. Leave this on the counter for 24 hours or even 30 hours as I did. Ae times opening and rotating apples with your hands. You will see lovely apple juice filling the bottom of crock.

Have a tiny pan with boiling water for your jar lids to sit in until you need them in a few minutes. Have the jar rimms ready also. Think I used 6 to eight jars. It will be in photo.

Also have a large water bath canning pot with boiling water ready now. That has water filled to top of jar depth in it.

The next day just heat up 4 cups of water with one cup of sugar and add everything from crock into this simple syrup you made. Heat till just warmed through not boiling. Put this into pint jars to 1/2 inch headspace and de-bubble, wipe rims with vinegar paper towel. Finger tighten.

Put in canner and when a rolling boil starts you set your timer for 20 minutes. Remove with jar lifter as these are hot and heavy! Put on folded dish towel right beside stove and listen for the pings!

Always sending you warm wishes and hugs from me to you! #crispy,#sweet https://www.wisdomforpennies.com/
