Remember to use only ripe and unspoiled raspberries to make good quality wine.

Unripe, or over-ripe fruit will produce bitter or sour wine!

1 campden tablet, crushed
1/2 tsp. pectic enzyme
1 pkge. wine yeast

Crush the raspberries, and the tangerines or the oranges, and place them in a primary fermentor.

Add the water, sugar, nutrients, acid blend, pectic enzyme and the crushed campden tablet.
