Cherry Wine Recipe




Hi folks,

I've never made wine but I've been making beer for several months, now. I was thinking about cherry wine because I've got a tree full of ripe cherries, but I don't know what kind they are. They're sour and not really good for eating. Would they be OK for wine? Anyone got a recipe?
Thanks
Alexander



 

Sour/tart/pie cherries should make better wine than sweet cherries, they have more flavor. I only have one cherry (total) on my trees this year, had a late frost. Maybe next year. Here's a link for recipes. They all seem to be similar, except for the cherry type. Morellos are a sour cherry, that recipe might be your best bet.
Thanks
Bennett

 

I'll be needing a few extra supplies for this. Probably won't be able to do this before next weekend. The cherries are ripe now. Should I harvest now,crush and freeze, or maybe pick and refrigerate, or maybe they'll still be good on the tree next week? Any thoughts?
Thanks
Desmond
