Wine making is something I always wanted to try. We have an abundance of blackberries every year, & I'd like to be ready. Maybe practice now with the muscodines that are coming ripe.

Tried & trusted old family recipes appreciated! I don't always trust what comes up in an online search.

My recipe is very simple. Although I usually use blueberries (picked in Ft Valley off the bushes in South Peach Park) or muscadines (Mom's yard). Don't wash the fruit after you pick it- just put it directly into the clean container you are going to use to ferment the liquid. Add fruit, water, and one cup of white sugar per gallon of water.

There's plenty of natural yeast on most everything outside- it will ferment on it's own. I recommend putting a cork and looped clear hose for a bubbler to seal the container. Generally we let it sit four to six weeks before mashing the fruit, adding one more cup of sugar per gallon of water, and then letting it sit another four to six weeks.

Strain it after that and bottle it.
