This recipe is great. I only used 4 cups of sugar and I boiled the water first. Also I sterilized the jugs. Turned out really good. It was quite strong. The easiest wine I have ever made. Thanks for the recipe Lila.

When I was 16 I was a bad boy and made a similar recipe in my mothers basment from one I found in an old cook book my gradmother had. I lost that recipe. Thanks for posting this one. One tip I do remember from the old recipe is that the mixture should be boiled and let cool before adding the yeast to prevent contamination. Thanks so much for sharing.
