I wonder if they've grown yet. Or when does the guarantee run out?

Carrot Wine

INGREDIENTS:


4 lbs / 1,800 grams carrots
2 lbs / 900 grams sugar
3/4 lb / 340 grams sultanas
Juice of two lemons
1tsp of Wine yeast


Method: top & tail the carrots then wash them do not peel then chop them into small pieces then Boil the carrots and simmer until soft and strain on to the sugar. Stir in the chopped sultanas and lemon juice. When the liquid in lukewarm, add the yeast. Cover and leave for seven days, stirring twice daily.


Then Using a fine muslin bag strain the liquid into a demijohn press the muslin bag to get all the liquid from the sultanas then using an airlock to seal the jar. Store in a warm place and allow the fermentation to work itself out. When fermentation has ceased, rack the wine into a clean jar and place in a cooler environment and leave for a further few months. When the wine is clear and stable (approximately six months) siphon into bottles.
