A few tips on how to make jam from wine

It often happens that homemade jam preparations start to wander or deteriorate for some reason. However, do not rush to throw them away, it is better to learn how to make a jam of wine.

For this you can take as a slightly fermented twist, and completely normal. The process of making such a drink is completely not complicated, but in the end you can get a fragrant home wine, which you can treat your friends. There is no need to bother with berries or calculate the amount of sugar and liquid, everything is much simpler.

Before you make a jam of wine, you need to cook the dishes. Usually they take glass bologs, which are thoroughly washed, but are better scalded with boiling water. However, you can take a ceramic or wooden container, the only condition is that it should not be made of metal. Here jam is poured out, which is poured with boiled water (per liter of jam of a liter and a half of water). At the same time, it is necessary to leave a little space near the neck, as the mixture will then start to wander. The ingredients are thoroughly mixed, the surface is covered with gauze, containing several layers.

Whether or not sugar is added depends on how sweet the jam is. If you used a little sugar when cooking it, you need to add an extra glass of sugar to the mixture of jam and water. Now it's worth taking care of the wort to ferment. To do this, several methods are used.

Raisins are added to the berry mixture. In this case, wash it in no case it is impossible, since in this way natural yeast is removed from the surface. You can add a bunch of fresh grapes or a handful of raspberries. These berries will also promote subsequent fermentation of the wort.

Talking about how to make wine from jam, you can not say that you can use yeast for this. The ideal option would be, of course, to get the wine yeast, but if you do not get it, you can take a bakery, but in any case not beer. The use of wine yeast speeds up the fermentation process.

The resulting must is left for a week at room temperature. After that, the liquid is filtered and poured into clean dishes. Once again, add a little sugar and yeast (or a few pieces of raisins). Again left in an open form (you can cover dishes only with clean gauze, so that nothing gets there) for a week. At this time, the fermentation process is quite turbulent and can be seen with the naked eye. If nothing happens, then you need to add a spoonful of sugar or something was done wrong. To find out the reason, you need to carefully review the tips on how to make a jam of wine.

After the secondary fermentation, the wort is once again filtered and poured. Now it is necessary to close the dishes with a special device made of a lid in which a hole is made and a rubber tube is inserted, its end is lowered into water. A simpler version is a rubber glove, which will be periodically inflated. Do not forget that in the area of the fingers you need to make small punctures. Now it is necessary to wait a month, strain the drink, pour into bottles - and you can start to taste. Before you make wine from jam, you have to make up your mind that this process is not too fast. The fact that the fermentation is completed will be evident from the fact that the glove will drop or because there are no bubbles in the water. And the liquid itself will acquire a transparent color, and the precipitate will most likely settle down on the bottom.

Before you make a jam of wine, you can pick up the twists with different berries, then the taste of the finished drink will be more astringent and fragrant. You can also add a little honey to the wort before setting it to "wander". Bottles in which the ready-made drink is stored is recommended to be closed tightly with a lid (you can use cans and cans for this) and leave in a dark cool place for another month.
