Wine Recipe Suggestions Please

[Brewers Whoop]

Got a cupboard full of blackberry wine and elderberry port maturing away; a couple of litres of sloe gin ready for slurping now, and 24L of porter fermenting nicely.

And four nice clean sanitised empty demijohns trying to attract my attention every time I go in the kitchen.

But I'm a bit stumped for a recipe at the moment. Anyone got any suggestions please, for a wine recipe made with seasonal ingredients; gathered or inexpensive to satisfy my inner miser.

Cheers!

Root Ginger and Parsnip springs to mind. I will also be making Raspberry wine with all the fruit I have collected and frozen through the year. And not to forget the 2 large Ikea bags of apples that got dropped off at my house last weekend.

Jam Wine
5 jars of tescos finest mega cheap mixed fruit jar at 29p a jar
pectolitic enzyme
high speed yeast
1 gallon of water.

no need for added sugar, but extra stuff like rose petels or elder flowers might be nice. Ready in about two weeks.

Taste like jacques fruit cider, but sweeter and stronger.
