This is a very old recipe I found in my mothers files. I remember getting to take sips of it as a child…not very much…I remember it being a sweet wine. I actually looked it up on line and her recipe was exactly like the one on line…I used their words for my directions.
This is an easy recipe for homemade wine. You can choose whatever flavor you like…but DON’T USE A CITRUS flavor. Grape is perfect.
This wine is a bit stronger than regular table wine. It is great for cooking as well as drinking.

You might need to buy:
  • sugar
  • frozen juice concentrate...any flavor except citrus...thawed.
