I finally managed to gather up 10 lbs of black figs to try that fig wine recipe on Paradise Nursery's website. I've never made wine before but this intrigued me so IÂm going to teach myself the art. Of course, never having done this before I had no supplies so off to the local home brew business for a wine making kit. $150.00 later IÂm in business! Ouch!

I chopped up the figs and put them into the sugar solution last night. Of course I had to occasionally sample the figs to make sure they were sweet! Tonight I add the wine yeast and let it ferment for a few days. Then comes the part I have to figure outÂsomething about tubing and racking, and hydrometers, and valves, and I think IÂm over my head with this project but IÂm determined to have fun!
