This is the first time I am making 'wines'.  This is a simple recipe from someone who has tried it and said it works well.

6 cups chunked fruit (any kind)

6 cups sugar

Place fruit and sugar into gallon container.  Fill with water.  Stir well.  Cover.  Stir every day for 30 days.  Rack off (strain fruit & sediment from wine).  Bottle.  Do not decrease amount of sugar!

I'm afraid this will turn into more of a vinegar than a wine, but if it does, I'll put some of my MOV (mother of vinegar) in the containers & have designer vinegars!

Jams:

• Strawberry
• Peach

Jellies:

• Apple
• Chocolate Mint
• Apple & Chocolate Mint
• Grape

Dried Fruits & Vegetables:

• Apple Wedges (plain, honey & cinnamon/sugar)
• Sliced Tomatoes with Basil

Dried vegetables & fruits are easy!

• For the apple wedges, I core the apples and slice (wedge) the apples 8 to 16 times depending on the diameter of the apple.  (You can put the apples wedges in Fruit Fresh at this time if you like.)  For flavored apples, roll apples in cinnamon/sugar or honey.  Place in dehydrator.  It takes about 12 hours to dry.  Place apples in air tight container.
• For dried tomatoes I like using Romas.  Slice about 1/2" thick in circles.  Sprinkle with ground herbs such as basil (lemon basil is wonderful!), oregano, chives, garlic, et al.  Place in dehydrator.  Store in air tight container.

Dried fruits & vegetables will be slightly chewy.  Make sure they are thoroughly dry otherwise you risk mold!
