6 pomegranates
1 lb / 450 grams raisins
2 lbs / 900 grams granulated sugar
2 teaspoon acid blend
1 teaspoon pectic enzyme
Wine yeast
1 teaspoon yeast nutrient / energiser
1 campden tablet
8 pints / 1 gallon water

Method - What to Do

Cut pomegranates into half and remove all of the fruity seeds. Be sure not to include any of the pomegranate's pith or skin, as this can cause the wine to taste bitter. Crush the pomegranate seeds well and add to winemaking fermentation container. Pour on boiling water, together with all of the additional pomegranate wine ingredients, except for the wine yeast. Mix thoroughly and allow the pomegranate wine mixture to stand for several hours, until room temperature.

Add the activated wine yeast to the pomegranate wine mixture and stir two or three times each day, for around five days in total. Stain the fermenting pomegranate wine 'must' into a clear demijohn and fit airlock. Rack the wine for the first time at one month, and then again at roughly four months and seven months. Bottle the pomegranate wine at one year old and if possible, allow the wine to stand for up to one year.
