Tomato Wine
 

This recipe was given to me as a newlywed, nearly 50 years ago.
I have made it twice, exactly as written, and found that it is
much better as it ages a year or two. It tastes like cream sherry.
If you have an improvement on the recipe, terrific, but don't
ask me if it will work--I have no idea!


Delana's Tomato Wine

6 lb. sugar
6 lb. ripe tomatoes, chopped
1 lb. raisins
6 oranges, cut up, including skins
1 gallon boiling water
------
1 pkg. yeast

Mix first five ingredients together in a clean crock or
food-safe plastic bucket. Let cool to cool lukewarm;
add yeast and stir well. Cover.

Stir daily for 15-20 days or until fermentation stops.
Strain and bottle. Needs no processing when bottled.
If I recall correctly, it makes ~ 1 1/2 gallons.

Well, I saved the recipe but don't expect me to drink the tomato wine.
Miz Anne will drink anything with alcohol in it and I used to make
gallons of various wines. She might want to try this one too.

My home made recipe book gets bigger every day.
