Method

  • Pour 2 pints of boiling water over the fruit and leave overnight.

  • Next day, add 4 pints of cold water, and every other recipe ingredient apart from the campden and potassium sorbate tablets.

  • Leave for 24 hours, then drain, don't try to squeeze out the fruit too much.

  • Pour into a demi-john and add another half teaspoon of pectolase. Do not be tempted to overfill the demi-john as this is liable to froth up and overspill. Add an airlock to the demi-john.

  • Leave until it stops frothing - approx two days, then top up to the shoulder of the demi-john with cold water.

  • Allow to ferment as normal. When bubbles stop forming, syphon into a clean demi-john and add a campden tablet and a potassium sorbate tablet.

  • Leave for a month or so. If it doesn't clear, add finings and another campden tab.

  • Bottle when stable and clear.
