Christmas Pudding Wine without the Christmas Pud?
As we approach the middle of the year, I was thinking of progressing to wine number 4! Not great timing, so has anyone done Christmas Pudding Wine wihout the Christmas Pudding?
Chrstmas Pudding Ingredients...
Ingredients *Sultanas (20% (Sultanas, Palm Oil) , *Raisins (15%) (Raisins, Cottonseed Oil) , *Demerara Sugar , *Currants (7%) (Currants, Palm Oil) , *Glacé Cherries (5.5%) (Cherries, Glucose-Fructose Syrup, Colour: Anthocyanin; Acidity Regulator: Citric Acid , Preservative: Sulphur Dioxide) , *Thornbridge Stout (5.5%) , *Breadcrumbs (Wheat Flour, Water, Salt, Yeast, Vinegar , Emulsifier: Mono- and Diacetyl Tartaric Acid Esters of Mono and Diglycerides of Fatty Acids, Vegetable Oil, Ascorbic Acid) , Port (3.5%) , *Sherry (3.5%) , *Vegetable Suet (Vegetable Oil, Rice Flour) , *Almonds (3%) (Nuts) , WheatFlour , Egg , *Orange and Lemon Peel , *Cognac (2%) , Humectant (Vegetable Glycerine) , Molasses , Cream (Milk) , *Mixed Spice (Coriander, Cinnamon, Clove, Fennel, Ginger, Nutmeg, Cardamom).
Which could become...
Sultanas
Raisins
Demerara sugar
Currants
Glace cherries
Stout, Port, Sherry, Cognac?
Almonds?
Molasses
Orange and lemon peel
Mixed Spice..
Obviously the cooking (with all the other ingredients) will add additional flavours/ complexity, but maybe the dried could be cooked some way to caramelise the sugars...? Worth a go?
