Tomato wine

Tomato wine might sound unconventional, but it's quite a strong  homemade wine that can surprise your palate. It offers a unique flavor profile that works well in cooking or even sipping if aged properly. The acidity and umami-rich nature of tomatoes make them an intriguing base for fermentation. It is quite a strong wine… it has a slightly fruity taste and does not really taste like tomatoes… I really love the golden colour… Weight for 2-3 months after bottling for a most flavorful wine. 

Here's a step-by-step recipe to make Tomato Wine at home.


Ingredients:

Red ripe Tomatoes - 1 kg

Palm sugar - 250 gm

Sugar - 500gm 

Water - 3 litres

Yeast - ½ tsp

Lemon zest & lemon Juice from 1 big lemon (You can substitute it with orange zest and orange juice if you wish)

Method:

  • Wash & pat dry the tomatoes. Finely chop or mash tomatoes with a potato masher. Set aside. 

  • Boil water and 500 gm sugar and cool it till lukewarm.
  • Add the palm sugar to the Luke warm water and mix it till it completely dissolves. 
  • Add  chopped tomatoes to the warm sugar water.
  • Mix well and add yeast, lemon juice & lemon zest. Be very careful not to add any white pith of lemon or orange with the zest.
  • Mix all the ingredients well and keep it in an earthen jar (Bharani) or in a glass jar, cover it and leave for 21 days, stirring daily.
  • On 22nd day, strain the mixture through a cheese / muslin cloth.
  • At this stage if the wine is not sweet enough for your liking, you can add rest of the 250 grams of sugar mix well and keep it again in a clean dry Bharani / glass bottle for another 21 days.
  • Strain on the 22nd day bottle and use.
  • The taste will be more flavourful if you wait for it to age for two to three months after bottling.

ENJOY!!!
