Orange and banana wine

For the preparation of wine, it is best to use very ripe oranges, you can even say overripe, soft. Dark spots are acceptable (but not mold!) As a rule, such fruits are sold at a discount.

Oranges are thoroughly washed with a sponge for washing dishes, after which we clean, remove all the bones, cut out the cores. After squeezing the juice out of the oranges. We try to do it to the maximum.

Bananas are thoroughly washed, cleaned and cut into medium pieces of arbitrary shape. Pour water (500 ml) into a medium-sized saucepan, put pieces of bananas in it and put it on medium heat. When the liquid boils, reduce the heat to low and simmer the bananas for 20 minutes under the lid.

Wash the raisins, dry with a towel and cut in half.

Pour orange juice into the container in which the fermentation process will take place. Add boiling water (2 liters), granulated sugar (0.9 kg) and half raisins to it.Mix everything well so that the sugar crystals dissolve. We put the bananas in cheesecloth and hang them over the container with the rest of the ingredients. When all the juice has drained, squeeze out the banana pulp. The remains of the pulp will no longer be useful - we throw them away.

In the remaining water (300 ml), dissolve the tannin, then pour the mixture into the wort. We are waiting for the wort to cool completely. Next, add the pectin enzyme, mix. We leave the wort to stand overnight (12 hours). Now add yeast to the wort, mix well again. We install a water seal and remove the container in a dark and warm place for 7 days.

When this time has passed, add the rest of the sugar (400 g), mix, wait for another 3 days. After draining the liquid from the sediment, pour it into a clean bottle, close the water seal again and put it in a dark, but now cold place. We keep a bottle of future wine there for 3 months. Every month it needs to be drained from the sediment.

After the wine will be ready for tasting! It remains only to pour it into beautiful bottles. Wine should be stored in a dark and cool place.
