4 Ib. ripe quinces

8 oz, chopped raisins

2 3/4 Ib sugar

1 gallon water

Rind and juice of 2 large lemons

Campden tablet

Pectozyme

Nutrient

Sauterne yeast

This wine has an unusual, distinctive, quite pleasant flavour and is well worth making if you can get the quinces. Apart from making a pleasant social wine it could very well be served with rabbit. Wash off any dirt from the quinces and cut off any stalks. Quarter and core the fruit, then crush or grate them into the gallon of hot water containing the chopped raisins. When cool add a Campden tablet, a teaspoonful of pectozyme and the rind and juice of the lemons. Soak for three days then strain, and stir in the sugar, nutrient and yeast. Ferment and serve as a medium-sweet wine. The flavour is not so pleasant if the wine is either too sweet or too dry.
