This fall I had so much rhubarb left over and I found an old rhubarb wine recipe my mother had written on paper.Well, I thought I would try making it. Very simple and easy.
I put it in my, what they call in this house, butler's pantry and forgot about it.
Yesterday, I was in the pantry and there it sat, three gallons of my wine. So I took one gallon out to check and it looked clear. I want to tell you, it is wonderful.
Tomorrow, I will write the recipe on the blog, for those that would like to try it..It is a very smooth and not too sweet of a wine.
It is very rewarding to make your own things, like jam/jellies. At least this way, you know what you are eating.
Rhubarb comes every spring and I look forward to getting it..right now, it is buried under snow, but won't be for long..
Till next time, keep looking up.

Rhubarb is one of my favorite flavors...the wine sounds delicious!
When is the wine tasting taking place?? Heehee...........

My mom makes a great rhubarb sauce that we enjoy every summer. :) I agree, its so rewarding to make your own things. I'm anxious for spring to give it a try in my *own* garden this year!
My grandfather used to make his own wine in his basement. I think he may have made a batch of rhubarb. I know the rhubarb and asparagus were always growing in excess in his garden. I'm going to have to come back tomorrow to read your recipe! :)
Wow, I'd very much be interested in that recipe. Do you think you could use frozen rhubarb? I have some stashed in my freezer...
Mmmmm I can't wait for the recipe.
