1
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.
