Hi Eagle, no it doesn't taste like oranges, tastes like white wine!!!

Oh well I'll believe anything now Annie. Thinking about wine I've got abot 9 galls of backberry at various stages 2 galls of Strawberry, missed the elderberries the birds got them. Picking rowanberries this week never tried that and my parsnip are growing fine should be enough to make at least a trial gallon. I read somewhere that you only parboil the parsnips so you can frezze them and use them later for cooking . Can anyone confirm that Ta
What else can I grow for wine ................I wonder        corge???

We made orange wine years ago - had a small party - by the end it was being siphoned directly from demi-john to mouth!

LOL.

I've never made parsnip wine before, but I have tasted some.  The man who used to live next door to me in Kent made some.  It was very nice, very strong too as I recall.  He also made some Banana Brandy, but I couldn't try that one.  I was a bit dull and boring in those days before liberation set me free!!!!!!!

Now I'll try almost anything once......... except those creepy crawlies they eat in the jungle!!!!! ugh!!!!!

Got lots on the go at the moment, Elderflower, gooseberry, blackcurrant and parsnip.

If anyone’s interested here's a simple tried and tested recipe from the sixties.

1 bottle of original Ribena (not artificially sweetened must be 'Original').
1 teaspoon of citric acid or juice from one lemon.
1 sachet of winemaking yeast.
1 teaspoon of yeast nutrient.
1 1/2 lbs of sugar.

Method

Empty bottle of Ribena into glass one gallon demijon (sterilised).
Top up to the shoulder of the demijon with cold boiled water.
Add sugar, Yeast, citric acid, yeast nutrient.
Fit airlock shake and leave.
Takes about 2-3 months depending on room temperature.
Some people boil the Ribena for a few minutes but I’ve never bothered and have never had any problems.

Simple as that, my grandchildren love it with lemonade.
I love it as it is....... Hic.!@~*@!

lady next door has a recipie for wine made from sented rose petals , its more of a fortified wine but its fantastic like drinking turkish delight (the one with chocolate on of course)
Woman cannot live by bread alone , she must have cake , biscuits cheese and the occasional glass of wine .🍷

We will soon have plenty of oranges so has anyone got any ideas if you can make orange pickle?  Other than marmalade any suggestions? :D
Thanks
Pamela
