Rosehip Wine
What you will need:
2 1/2 lb / 1,100 grams fresh rosehips
1 lemon
1 orange
3 lb / 1,350 grams sugar
Pectin enzyme
Water up to 1 gallon
Yeast nutrient
Wine yeas
Crush the rose hips, place in a fermentation bucket and pour the boiling water over them. When cool add the pectin enzyme and cover and leave for 24 hours. Add the sugar and stir well to dissolve. Add the orange and lemon juice, the yeast nutrient and the wine yeast. Cover and leave for five days in a warm place, stirring daily. Strain through a fine sieve and put into a demijohn and fit an airlock to seal the jar.
Store in a warm place and allow the fermentation to work. When fermentation has ceased, rack the wine into a clean jar and place in a cooler environment and leave. When the wine is clear and stable siphon into bottles.
