Dandelion
Wine Recipe for fun and enjoyment.
makes 10
gallons
go pick
or buy dandelions pick the yellow blossoms about 5 to 10 quarts, or 5 packs of the leafs buy in some good healthily
stores...........boils in pot after cleaning let cool don't touch or squeeze flower blossoms or leafs...........will make
wine bitter...............measure the water in pot and use this water it will turn black in the making of the wine strain
out the blossoms or leafs eat the leafs throw away the blossoms if you use them instead of the leafs either one is ok.......Now
measure out 11 gallons of this water add regular water to the black water that you cooked the greens or blossoms in to get
the 11 gallons. Add 20 oranges quarter and 10 lemons 10 pounds and three yeast cakes use hot water that way the yeast
will work quicker.....oh don't forget the sugar 30 pounds..........that makes the alcohol use less sugar if your a whim.........stir
every day and enjoy the smell until it stop fizzing about 5 to six weeks.........strain out the pulp and the resins
and throw away ( I tried making raisin pie one year with the raisins mice meat pie but it didn't take very good.........you
might want to try to make some with the raisins. Ok you have this liquid that looks a little like baby shit but it’s
really wine in a few days.........let it settle I use 5 gallons water jugs and it settles pretty fast about two days.
The you strain it off and put the clear stuff in the bottles. Let it age a year according to the old Italians, but six
months is enough, however it does seem to get better with age as I guess all good wines does. So there you have it the Dandelion
Wine Recipe that I hope is carried down in the Sherman Family Tradition. |
