Cooking method

• In our country house near Shatura, a gooseberry variety grows "Ural emerald".
• 
• This gooseberry makes a wonderful wine, the recipe for which I want to share with you, dear forum users.
• We begin to make wine at the beginning of August, when the berry ripens.
• 
• Pour 10 glasses of berries into 5-liter jars, you can add a couple of handfuls of unwashed raisins directly from the bush without washing. Warm water (5 tbsp each), dissolve 5.5 cups of sugar in it and pour into jars. Stir the contents of the jar with a plastic spoon, the raisins will sink to the bottom of the jar, and the berries themselves will be at the top. Use a thick needle to make 15-20 holes in plastic covers.
• 
• Place the jars closed with these lids, if possible, on the sunny side, but not in direct sunlight. I put it on a glazed loggia.
• 
• After 2-3 days, the raisins will also rise to the top. Rising bubbles are evidence of the fermentation process.
• 
• At the beginning of the fermentation process, it is advisable to periodically stir the berries with a plastic or wooden spoon at least once every 2-3 days. A couple of times will be enough.
• When it gets cool on the loggia, it is better to bring the banks into the apartment. By the end of October (sometimes, it happens, and a little later), the berries will drop in the jars, the liquid will become absolutely transparent, which indicates that the fermentation process is almost complete.
• 
• Next stage - separation of liquid from berries... It is better to drain the liquid from the can into the pan through a flexible tube, for example, cambric, making sure not to capture or stir up the sediment that forms at the bottom of the can. Pour the strained wine back into clean jars and close tightly with lids without holes. Since the wine may become slightly cloudy during straining, you will have to wait 2-3 weeks for the wine to settle and become clear again. We carefully decant it into bottles through the tubes, call the guests and enjoy, sending praise to the authors of the recipe.

How long does it take to prepare the wine? How do you know when it's time to express it?

Tatyana, in two or three months the berries will sink to the bottom of the cans, which means it's time to decant.

[Vasily K.]

Vasily K., Thank you! If I can get a gooseberry, I'll try to make ...
We don't really drink wine, but homemade wine will not be superfluous))

[Tatyana]

Try to do, Tatyana, I hope you will like it. Good luck!

[Vasily K.]

Vasily K., we have just such a gooseberry variety for a hundred years now! This year he was struck by some disgust, I hope that next year it will be possible to make wine according to your wonderful recipe! : girl_claping: Thank you very much !!

[Rada-dms]

Rada-dms, thanks for your attention to the recipe. I wish the gooseberry recovery, and you success in winemaking! A very exciting experience.

I could not resist and pecked at the name. I've been living here for so many years, this is the first time I've seen our signature wine.

and my gooseberries are all over .. everyone ate and made jam ...
and I was still looking for how to attach a gooseberry to me ... very much, next year I will try ..

Well, it must be the same as it turns out, also pecked at the name. I live in the Shatursky district, the village of Dmitrovsky Pogost (Korobovo). The gooseberry is growing. it is necessary to cook and taste the wine of the countryman

I could not resist and pecked at the name. I've been living here for so many years, this is the first time I've seen our signature wine.

Ksarochka , first tried to make this wine 25 years ago. Once I was driving home on the train and heard a recipe for wine from an aronia.
I applied it to gooseberries, adjusting the amount of sugar. This is how my recipe was born. And what are the nuances you have, colleague!

[Vasily K.]

Vasily K., but tell me about the black choke, since you mentioned it ... I have the choke ...

[Vasily K.]

Vasily K., I have none. My grandmother made black chops, but now I don’t recognize the recipe. I also made liqueur from strawberries. Everyone praised, but I was little then, they didn't pour me any wine. I don't do wine myself. I prefer dry French.

[AlenKa]

AlenKa, the blackberry recipe differs only in the amount of sugar. The proportions are as follows: for a 3-liter jar we take 7 glasses of berries, 3.5 tbsp. sugar, the same amount of water and a handful of unwashed raisins. And the manufacturing technology is the same.

Ksarochka, and you are writing about your brand, is it somewhat similar to my "Shaturskoe Solnechnoe"? I'm very flattered.

[Vasily K.]

Vasily K., our brand name is Shaturskoe.

[Vasily K.]

Vasily K., our brand name is Shaturskoe.

Ksarochka, I unwittingly violated your authorship on the name

[Vasily K.]

Vasily K., Of course not. I just live here

[Ksarochka]

Ksarochka, therefore, fellow countrymen. Perfectly! Good luck!

Timoschka , hello fellow countrywoman! And we have a dacha near the village of Khalturino. There my beloved mother-in-law grows this gooseberry. Try to cook, Svetlana, have fun!

[Rada-dms]

Rada-dms, thanks for your attention to the recipe. I wish the gooseberry recovery, and you success in winemaking! A very exciting experience.

Our dad was doing this, there are many recipes left, including German ones !!
Thank you, maybe your recipe will be an incentive to continue family traditions!

Oh, German recipe !? It would be interesting to get acquainted.

[Vasily K.]

Vasily K., I will ask my mom, she has records !! I promise later!

[Rada-dms]

Rada-dmsWell, then I'll wait. Thanks in advance!

Gooseberry wine is great. It doesn't grow very well here. Recently I read that so that the gooseberry does not get sick, you need to plant a black elderberry between the bushes. By the way, wine is also made from elderberry (from flowers). We have already tried everything, a very original wine comes from feijoa. The only question I have arose: 2 months before the first overflow is not too much? Will it not peroxide? Usually, the wine is fermented without any cake, and the pressed is poured into the second grade.

[Nana]

Nana , in fact, never oxydated. Maybe because this wine is made from whole berries, and not from cake?

That is, it turns out. that the fermentation process is due to the raisins, and not due to the acid in the berries?

Yes, due to raisins and also due to unwashed berries. On the surface of the berries there is also a special wine yeast that promotes the beginning of the fermentation process, so they are not washed.

[Vasily K.]

Vasily K., good day.
I delivered your wine in early September.
The berries haven't dropped yet ... are we waiting?

[Vasily K.]

Vasily K., good day.
I delivered your wine in early September.
The berries haven't dropped yet ... are we waiting?

Elena, I have the same situation, although I put it back in August. This year the weather did not spoil us with warmth, so the process is slower. We'll have to be patient. I remember that somehow I had to wait almost until the New Year.

[Vasily K.]

Vasily K., well then I'm calm ... let's wait!

Good luck Elena! If possible, keep up to date. We will wait for the result together.

[Vasily K.]

Vasily K., thanks for the wine recipe! Immediately, the idea of ​​gooseberry wine seemed very interesting to me, since by itself it is insanely tasty and a bit like grapes, I thought that this was the best option for my first wine experience and was not mistaken! I really changed the recipe a little (I chopped the berries with a blender, added a little honey, liquid yeast and the core of country apples), and I did it "blindly" because I don't drink wine, never tried it, I fixed it with 1k10 vodka, wine everybody liked it, my dad constantly makes wine from ranetki, and he liked the taste of this "sunny shaturskiy" much more than his own! and he was also very surprised that I did not try so well
I put the wine right after the recipe appeared, but quite a bit, 2 liters, this year I will make a LOT, because we don't like jam, and after the freezer it is also not to the family's taste ... while it was standing under the window, I mean it I forgot, and tried it almost a year later)))) maybe time made it even better, in any case, thanks from my family for it

Now, by chance, I recommended a useful site in a neighboring topic Mandraik Ludmila vinum. , it says gooseberries are more like grapes

[Vasily K.]

Vasily K., the best option for my first wine experience and was not wrong! I really changed the recipe a little (I chopped the berries with a blender, added a little honey, liquid yeast and the core of country apples), and I did it "blindly" because I don't drink wine, I have never tried it, I fixed it with 1k10 vodka, wine everybody liked it, my dad always makes wine from ranetki, and he liked the taste of this "sunny shaturskiy" many times more than his own! and he was also very surprised that I did not try so well

NataliARH, congratulations on your successful debut in winemaking! I am glad that the wine tasted good.
Also at one time I had to start making wine out of necessity, just tired of the jam. The result was surprisingly excellent, especially from the gooseberry. The main advantage of the recipe is its simplicity. Ripe berry plus sun, and success is assured. Experiments with different additives are welcome.

[Vasily K.]

Vasily K., But I forgot to thank !!!
The wine turned out superb !!! Even my Fickle Children appreciated this drink!
Thanks for the recipe, although this year there are not enough gooseberries and they were eaten from the roots ... so I hope in the next one - I will definitely repeat it !!!

[Vasily K.]

Vasily K., The wine turned out superb !!! Thanks for the recipe, I hope next year - I will definitely repeat it !!!

Elena, very glad that the wine turned out. Good luck!

[Vasily K.]

Vasily K., I read on that site that it is better to take an unripe gooseberry .... although I thought the other way around)))) so at the weekend I typed a little unripe green and did not start typing the rest, I think let it still sing, but it turned out to be the other way around)))) while only two treshki are standing, one with a blender passed the second with whole berries, I wonder where it will be more convenient to remove the sediment ...and then the berries crack? I'm worried about the question: how will the juice from them come out into wine
and again on that site they write that it is better to make wine out of juice (which is easier for beginners), it is interesting that a juicer (well, which apples, carrots can take) can a gooseberry squeeze?

[NataliARH]

NataliARH, just today added this photo to the recipe description , it shows what happens at the end of the process.
The gooseberries even get a little rumpled. It can be seen that the berry gave away quite a lot. We never squeeze gooseberries, it's a pity for time. I read recipes on websites where the berry is pre-squeezed or chopped, maybe even more correct, but simplicity of execution is more important to me.
As for maturity, you can, of course, do it from an immature one. but we like it more from almost ripe. There are different recipes. I have one.

while only two treshki are standing, one with a blender passed the second with whole berries,

NataliARH, I wonder if the wine from these two cans will be different? Will you tell us later?

[Vasily K.]

Vasily K., I'm telling! The wine is drained, different! I liked it less with whole berries, unfortunately, but it's convenient to drain, I agree! To the taste where I added apples (there were a few of them, a handful) and honey, even I liked it, somehow it is nobler! On NG I tried brut champagne, this wine (which with additives) is very similar to it, only without gaziks, and the aftertaste is the same, in general I liked it! in total, it came out from three rubles to 2 liters, and even in a 10-liter it was, from there 6 liters of output ... I don't drink ... but now I have to, I even studied the benefits of homemade wine, but so far I have only tried 1 tbsp from each banks. The color of wine with additives turned out to be more pleasant for me. As a result, I am glad that thanks to you, my green gooseberries (I eat red fresh) do not disappear, I will distribute wine to my relatives and leave a little for myself))) THANKS !!!

NataliARH, Congratulations on your success! Of course, it tastes better with apples and honey! Natalia, maybe it is worth formalizing your method with a separate recipe?

[Vasiliy]

Vasiliy , I somehow lost the excitement of displaying recipes, although there are some desire to share ... maybe interest will return

[Vasily K.]

Vasily K.Thank you for the recipe! We will try!

[Nuttison]

Nuttison, I'm glad that the recipe is interesting! Success in winemaking! It's a very exciting experience.
