  • I love to make wine from fruit and veg

    Before I moved to Indonesia I had an allotment and grew very nearly all our veggies, and a lot of the fruit. Indonesia is too hot to do much of that, for us soft Westerners. so, instead of growing it, I make wine! at the moment my wines bubbling away include mango, frangipani (flowers), rosella, beet and ginger, carrot and ginger and rambutan.

    I love reading about your gardening ventures - I miss doing it myself......but there are compensations. for instance, it is not yet 8 am and the temperature is 26C/78F. Beats cold, windy, drizzly days!

    Some days it's hardly worth chewing through the restraints!

    One bit of old folklore wisdom says to plant tomatoes when the soil is warm enough to sit on with bare buttocks. In surburban areas, use the back of your wrist. Jackie French

      Hi Mike

      Welcome to the Vine

      You will have to post your successful recipes on here so we can try to follow them.

      Some of those wines sound interesting to say the least

                All you have left to make wine from now is the Durian ! ! ! I remember peeling and eating rambutans 'down Bugis Street' Singapore in the late 60s.

                Aaahh, memories.

                Cheers, Tony.
