CHers: I knew I'd seen this recipe somewhere. Someone sent it in a while ago. Haven't tried it yet, but the idea is tempting! Tara Chile Petine Wine Ok, I dug around through my recipe mess and found the recipe for the infamous "Chile Petine Wine". I'm going to type it in just as it was written by my friend. I know nothing about wine making in general so have no idea how accurate the instructions are. I have never made this but I have drunk some and remember it as being pretty good (this was also 20 odd years ago and there were a number of things I liked that make me cringe now!). Chile Petine Wine from a family recipe of Alan Voight 2 good double-handfuls of chile petines 5 apples 2 limes 1 lemon 6 cups of hen scratch (take out the mineral pellets) 2 cups honey 1 cup maple syrup 1 almost cup of molasses 4 gallon bucket |-----------| add ingredients and fill with water |^^^^^^^^^^^| | | Add 1/2 packet wine yeast | | | | Let ferment 1.5 weeks | | | | Then add 2 cups of sugar | | 2 oranges | | the other 1/2 packet of yeast ------------- Let it go, but watch it Strain 3 or 4 times over 4 month period Drink If anyone actually decides to try this, please let me know what results you get.
