Recipe for mango wine (from dried mangos)

Aug 12, 2004 3 Replies

Does anyone have a recipe for mango wine that is made from dried mangos? I have no idea if you can take one of Jack's recipes for fresh mangos and convert it somehow...?



Thanks in advance, Harry


I have never made it but C.J.J. Berry suggests that you use as recipe for fresh fruit but substitue dried fruit at 1 to 4.

Be careful as most dried fruit are loaded with sulfites as preservatives and consequently can be very difficult to ferment.

Harry,

Ray is correct. Use a rough 1 to 4 conversion for dried fruit. To be exact, one needs to fine-tune the ratio for each fruit, but 1:4 works close enough. Also, as Ray said, be especially aware of any preservatives used in the fruit. If it says, "sorbic acid," forget it. You will never get the necessary fermentation. But "ascorbic acid" is okay....
