After time, the entire contents must be strained through gauze folded in two or three layers and poured into a clean container where it will still ferment. Put a medical glove on the jar, prick your finger with a needle, or install a water seal. Now the mixture must be left in a dark, warm place for 35-40 days so that the active fermentation process is completely completed.

When the glove is no longer in a standing position, i.e. will fall, and the shutter will not form bubbles, the wine itself will acquire a lighter shade compared to the original one. This means that the active fermentation process has come to an end. You will also find a characteristic small sediment at the bottom of the jar.

Stir and let it brew for four days in a warm place. In this case, a cotton filter must be installed on top so that the gas can escape freely. This starter can be stored for no more than ten days.

How long is it - 1.5 months?

What is the calorie content - 123 calories.

How to cook:

1. The technology for making cherry wine is no different from the previous ones. First, mix the starter with jam and slightly warm water. Send to a dark place for five days, stirring the mixture daily. Sourdough, by the way, is made in exactly the same way as in the previous recipe.

4. Then add 50 ml of cherry extract for each liter of wine. Stir, pour into clean bottles and leave to age for at least a month.

Advice: if the wine is made during the cherry fruiting season, then you can make a starter not based on raisins, but on the basis of the cherry berries themselves. They should not be washed and there should be no seeds inside. This will require 170 g of berries, 250 ml of water and 100 g of sugar.

Honey drink "Pasechnik"

This honey-based wine takes on a pinkish hue from the pine cones and linden. Without these components it will be perfectly transparent. The drink turns out very soft!

How long - 3 weeks.

What is the calorie content - 87 calories.

How to cook:

1. Mix honey well in warm water. Pour everything into a large saucepan and put on fire.
2. Simmer the mixture over low heat for half an hour. The foam that will form all this time must be removed with a spoon.
3. Cones and fresh linden blossom should be placed in a gauze bag. Then it needs to be placed in honey mass.
4. Add the juice of all the lemons and ammonium salt. It is also called ammonium chloride powder. Mix everything and pour into a bottle, without removing the bag of herbs.
5. Install a water seal on top and put it in a warm place without light. Let it ferment for three weeks and then strain, discarding the sediment. The bag of herbs can be pulled out at this point.
6. The finished honey wine should not have any bubbles. It will be transparent. Bottle and store in the cellar for a whole year. If sediment appears, then you need to strain again.

Tip: instead of ammonium salt, you can use a starter made from berries or raisins. If these are berries, for example raspberries, then the calculation is as follows: for every liter of wine you need a glass of berries. If these are raisins, then 120 g per liter will be enough. Fresh lemon juice can be replaced with citric acid, which requires 1 g of acid for each liter of wort.

Wine from fermented jam

Fermented jam, in which bacteria are already active, accelerates the fermentation process of the wort itself. Many people believe that it is from such a product that the best wine is made.

How long is it - 18 days?

What is the calorie content - 139 calories.

How to cook:

1. Mix the jam with warm water and add a handful of raisins. Place everything in a bottle and put it in a dark place, making sure to install a water seal.
2. After about two weeks, the fermentation process should end. Then you need to remove the pulp and strain the wort itself. Let it sit in a tightly closed jar for another three days.
3. Then the young wine should be bottled and stored in the cellar.

Advice: if the wine is not sweet enough, it is advisable to add sugar before drinking, and not when bottling. Otherwise, it will affect the safety of the drink.

If the wine continues to ferment quite rapidly after fifty days, then this process should be stopped. You just need to remove the drink from the sediment, strain it and let it ferment for another two to three days. If this is not done, at the end of fermentation the wine will become bitter; this taste can no longer be interrupted by anything.

Honey for making wine can also be candied, it doesn’t matter. It will take a little longer to stir it in warm water. But it’s better not to pour cold water, as then the stirring process will take twice as long. If some grains are still not mixed, they will melt when the mass begins to heat up. In extreme cases, they can then be filtered out.

Wine made from jam is a pleasant and bright drink that is truly replete with flavors. Depending on the type of jam, a different shade of wine is obtained. Cooking does not take much effort, because fermentation takes the most time. But you can enjoy the result all evening long!
