Elderberry wine recipe
4lb Elderberries
1 gallon (5 litres) of boiling water
3 lb (1.5Kg) of granulated sugar
a ‘claret’ yeast sachet
8 oz (200g) chopped raisins
Juice of 1 lemon
Juice of 1 orange
1 vitamin B tablet
1 teaspoon of yeast nutrient
Campden tablets

Procedure:
Strip the berries from the stalks into a suitably large vessel.
Add 8 oz chopped raisins, juice of the lemon, juice of the orange, a vitamin B tablet and a teaspoon of yeast nutrient.
Add the boiling water and stir well.
When cool enough to handle, squeeze fruit with hands to extract juice.
Leave for one day to infuse.
Add 2 1/2 lb sugar and activated yeast and leave covered for three days.
Strain off liquid into demijohns, top up with another 1/4 lb of sugar in each and, if necessary, with cooled boiled water.
Leave to ferment in a warm (65-75 degrees), dark place.
When the fermentation ceases ( usually 2-3 weeks ) syphon the clearing wine from the sediment into a clean demijohn and move to a cool place.
After 1 or 2 days rack again, adding 2 campden tablets and topping up with a little cold water.
After 2 weeks rack again, adding 1 more campden tablet.
Replace the airlock with a cork bung. Rack again when a heavy deposit forms.
Bottle in dark green bottles when wine is clear and there has been no activity for some time.
Mature for at least 6 months before drinking.
