Рецепт Homemade Guava Wine Recipe / Perakka Wine Recipe
I got this recipe from my aunt a few years back. She gave me
a bottle of this wine and the recipe when she visited me while I was holidaying in my home
town. The moment I tasted the wine I was in love with it and it is now one of
our favorites. Guava / perakka is not easily available here and when I found
some a couple of months back I immediately made this wine. This wine is very sweet which mellows with ageing. I think the addition of kalkandam / rock sugar gives
it a very nice taste and whoever has tasted this wine so far
has given it 5 stars :) :)…. Thanks to Sally
aunty for giving me this recipe.
See the colour difference of the wine: This picture taken immediately
after I made the wine...
....And this one is
taken 6 months after … it’s now light
golden color.
Homemade Guava Wine Recipe / Perakka Wine Recipe
Cooking time – 10 minutes
- Guava / Perakka – 1 kg (not overly ripe)
- Sugar – 1 ½ to 2 kg (depending upon the sweetness of guava)
- Boiled cooled water – 4 liters
- Yeast – 1 tbsp ( I only used ½ tbsp)
- Kalkandam / Rock Sugar – 250 gm
Wash and then wipe guava with a clean cloth.
Dice guava into small
pieces.
Put diced guava pieces, sugar, water and yeast into a clean sterilized
bottle/ bharani; mix well and cover the bottle with a clean cloth or with lid
little loosely.
Stir this mixture for 21 days.
After 21 days strain the mixture
through a clean cheese cloth / muslin cloth into a clean dry vessel.
Clean and
sterilize the bottle / bharani or use another sterilized bottle and pour the
strained wine and add kalkandam / Rock sugar mix well until kalkamdam / rock
sugar dissolves.
Keep this again for another 21 days and thereafter strain
the wine again and pour it into clean dry bottles.
