Dissolve the sugar in warm water. Wash and clean the fruit. Remove the
hulls
and then crush the fruit and add it along with all ingredients except
the
yeast and pectic enzyme. After 24 hours add the yeast and pectic
enzyme.
Stir daily for 6 days and then let rest for 24 hours to settle. Rack
off the
pulp and sediment into a secondary fermenter. Attach the airlock and
allow
the fermentation to continue. Rack again in 3 weeks.

Note: This recipe is for one gallon of wine. To make more wine, just
multiply all the ingredients by the except the yeast by the number of
gallons you wish to make. One packet of yeast is good for up to five
gallons. If you make more than 5 gallons you should add more yeast.
