Green Tomato Wine

• 5 lb. green tomatoes, washed and stems removed
• 2 lb. raisins, ground or chopped
• boiling water
• 3 3/4 qt. water
• 3 1/2 lb. sugar
• 2 oranges, sliced very thin
• 1/2 packet wine yeast
• 1 tsp. yeast nutrient
• 1 c. strong tea

1. Grind or chop tomatoes.
2. Pour boiling water on raisins and let soak for 10 minutes; drain, saving water.
3. Add enough to make 3 3/4 quarts (part barley water will result in wine with more body). Bring water to boil and dissolve sugar in it.
4. Add tomatoes, raisins and oranges.
5. When cooled to lukewarm, add wine yeast, softened as directed on package.
6. Stir in yeast nutrient and tea. Cover top of 3 gallon fermenting vessel with cheesecloth or clean towel tied down after mixture is added.
7. Keep in warm place for 3 days, stirring twice a day.
8. Siphon into clean gallon jug, straining out fruit; fit with airlock.
9. Keep in warm place until all signs of fermentation have ceased.
10. Rack off into clean gallon jug.
11. Fit with airlock again.
12. Keep in cool place until wine clears.
13. Rack off again and bottle.
14. I have not tried this one, but it sounds enchanting!
