Does anyonehave a recipe for watermelon wine?

[Dans]

Did you find a recipe? I've just been left with a watermelon and nothing to do with it!

[Sylvia]

No, I just recall the song "Old Dogs and Children and Water Melon Wine." Got the first two, need the third

[HappyHippy]

There's one on wikihow, but I've not tried it.
Think I might have to though

Will see if I can give it a go today, that watermelon is bugging me rolling around the kitchen work surface. Any idea how to get the juice without the pulp. Straining bag?

Dans

[HappyHippy]

I'd blitz it in a blender and put it through a sieve    You can always properly strain it again before bottling 

[Dans]

Bah, no blender. Potato masher and bowl here I come! Will report back with results!

[Sylvia]

Have started mine today

[Dans]

oooo. I've been distracted by a leaking pipe and subsequent redecorating. Hopefully have mine on this week!

Is anybodies watermelon wine ready yet?    
 I'd like to try some  .

[Sylvia]

Come back next summer, Bert and I will find you a bottle (have you got the old dogs and children though? )

My OH has just made spring oak leaf wine which has banana and watermelon in it - it smells fab, will ask him for recipe if you like but think he got it off the net.  First time on this particular flavour.

[Sylvia]

I always used black bananas for "body" in a lot of my wines. Oak leaf, watermelon and banana sounds lovely

[goosepimple]

Yes it doesn't smell as tropical as it sounds - just really fresh and appealing - will let you know what recipe he uses when he comes in, think it was from the Cairn O'Mhor website (may have spelt that wrong).

[Dans]

Ok my wine is finally on!

Not sure I'll be able to wait a year though!
