Pomegranate Grappa Liqueur Recipe

Hay Guys and Gals, are you Looking for an awesome Pomegranate Grappa Liqueur recipe? You now have no reason to look any further! You have just found what you have been looking for, this is a recipe for the most awesome tasting Pomegranate Grappa Liqueur Recipe in the world.

Ingredients

Step 1
  • 1 pomegranate
Step 2
  • 4 cups of grappa
Step 3
  • hibiscus tea leaves a few

Utensils

Directions

Step 1

Remove the seeds and let them dry in the sun for a week.

Step 2

Put the seeds into your container and pour in the grappa.

Then let them rest in a liter of Grappa standing in the sun for another week.

Step 3

Add the hibiscus flowers and close the container.

Aging, Straining, filtering, and Drinking Your Pomegranate Grappa Liqueur

Shake well and store away from sunlight in a cool and dry place for 1 month.

After 1 month strain the liquid through a cheesecloth squeezing the cheesecloth gently to wring out all the liqueur.

It helps to moisten the cheesecloth first so the liquid permeates more smoothly.

Once you get to the point where you have strained everything out, you can gently wring the cheesecloth to extract all of the remaining liquid and juice.

If you still need to strain your liqueur further due to lack of clarity, you can strain it 1 more time through a coffee strainer.

Let age further for another 6 months in a cool dry place.

Water down to taste.

Congratulations, You Have Completed Making this Awesome Pomegranate Grappa Liqueur Recipe!

You now need a bottle and a label which are cool enough to compliment your hard work. Honestly, if you put it into a cheap bottle, people will make fun of you. BUT, if it looks good, people will rave about it!

Notes on Utensils and Ingredients

  • Glass is always preferable when working with strong alcohol. Avoid plastic as much as possible.
  • Use organic ingredients to avoid pesticide residues.

Pomegranate Liqueur Recipe

Hey Guys and Gals, are you Looking for an awesome Pomegranate Liqueur D.I.Y. Recipe? You now have no reason to look any further! You have just found what you have been looking for, this is a recipe for the most awesome tasting Pomegranate Liqueur Recipe in the world.

Ingredients:

Step 1
  • 1 cup of pomegranate seeds
  • peel of 1 lemon
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 3 cups vodka
Step 2
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 3/4 cup water

Notes on Ingredients:

Pomegranate juice can be substituted if fresh pomegranates are unavailable, however I have had better results using whole seed pods, as the seeds impart different. characteristics to the liqueur, and adding more complexity and depth.

Lemon, buy organic if you can, you don’t want pesticides in your drink.

Water, use bottled water, tap water can make your drink cloudy

Notes on Utensils:

Avoid plastic as much as possible when working with strong alcohol. Glass is always preferable.

Utensils

I am listing the simplest utensils that you can use, the ones mom should have already have in the kitchen.
Utensils:
– A large glass jar (I used a 3 liter jar)
– large plastic bowl
– paring knife
– vegetable peeler  (or knife)
– measuring cups (liquid and dry)
– metal strainer
– cheesecloth
– saucepan
– small funnel
– glass bottles, or storage containers, for the final product, you can either use the glass Jar you used before, or just buy a second one.

Directions

Step 1

Seeding the Pomegranates

Keep in mind that the purpose of this step is to crush the pods so the vodka can infuse through the pomegranates, and not necessarily to fully extract all of the juice. This is the method I prefer.

Place a fine mesh metal strainer in a plastic or glass bowl.
Put seed pods into the strainer, using a spoon (I personally find slotted works nicely), press the pomegranate seed pods down against the strainer to crush the pods and extract the juice.

Continue working the pods around the strainer until all the pods are broken. Remember to save the seeds as well as the juice!

If all the above is to difficult put on a glove and crush by hand!

Peeling the lemon

Using a vegetable peeler or a paring knife, carefully peel the lemon. The goal is to avoid getting any of the pith (the white part) with the peel, as you want the oils in the peel.

The pith will impart an unpleasant bitterness in the final product. If you peel off too much, you can always scrape off extra pith.

Mixing, Aging, And Straining Your Liqueur

Sterilize the large jar add the pomegranate juice and seeds, the lemon peel, and the cinnamon stick.

Pour in the vodka, then wipe the rim of the jar to ensure it’s clean and seal.

Store the jar in a cool and dark location, agitating the jar every day to ensure everything is properly infusing. A good, solid swirl is sufficient. I let this stage infuse for two to three weeks.

After three to four weeks aging, it’s time to strain the liquid.

Carefully strain the liquid through several layers of cheesecloth. It helps to moisten the cheesecloth first so the liquid permeates more smoothly.

Once you get to the point of straining out the pulp and rind, gently wring the cheesecloth to extract all of the liquid and juice (the fourth photo).

After straining, you can discard all of the rind, pulp and any spices.

Return the liquid to the jar.

Step 2,

Gently heat the sugar and water to create a simple syrup. Only heat until the sugar is dissolved, taking caution to heat on medium-low so the sugar doesn’t begin to burn or caramelize.

Give the syrup time to sufficiently cool.

After the syrup has cooled, add it to the jar with the strained liquid.

Repeat the process, storing in a cool, dark and dry location, agitating every few days, and allow to age at least another three weeks, ideally 4 to 5 weeks.

Congratulations, you have made Pomegranate Liqueur

You now need a bottle, and a label, that is cool enough to compliment your hard work. Honestly if it looks good people will rave about it. If you put it into a cheap bottle people will make fun of you.

Pomegranate Wine Recipe

Hey Guys and Gals!

Are you looking for an awesome Pomegranate Wine Recipe light or full body flavor you will find it blow? So look no further you have found what you have been looking for! Below is the most awesome tasting Pomegranate Wine Recipe’s in the world.

Step 1

  • 6 Pomegranates
  • 96 oz. water
  • 2.75 lbs. sugar
  • 8 oz. White Grape Concentrate
  • 2 tsp. Acid Blend
  • 1 tsp. Pectic Enzyme
  • 1 tsp. Yeast Nutrient
  • 1/4 tsp. Tannin
  • 1 Campden Tablet

Step 2

  • 1 pack Lalvin EC-1118 wine yeast, K1V-1116 or Montrachet

Instructions

 Equipment

  • Primary fermenter (carboy)
  • stirring spoon
  • hydrometer,
  • straining bag
  • siphon tubing kit
  • 1 gallon carboy or jug
  • an airlock and bung
  • Sanitizer
  • (A thermometer and brewing belt may be used to monitor and control temperature.)

Make sure all equipment (i.e. stirring spoon, etc..) is sterilized. Contaminated equipment can let a stray yeast enter the wine and ruin it’s taste.

Instructions

Step 1

Wash your pomegranates. Peel and remove all yellow skin. Split open and scrape out red seeds. Loosen all the seeds and try to get as much of the white skin out.

Place the seeds into the nylon straining bag, mash and strain juice into your primary fermenter. Add water and all remaining ingredients. Except yeast. Cover primary fermenter. 

Wait 24 hours, then you will add your prepared yeast.

Step 2

 Yeast Hydration and primary fermentation: in a large cup add 4 ounces of warm chlorine free water.

Stir the yeast into the water then let mixture stand in cup for 15 minutes, make sure it is bubbling and then you will add it to your wine.

Take your hydrometer reading and calculate all the measurements.

Let ferment with the pulp for 5-7 days

Stage 3

After 5-7 days when the foaming calms down you will siphon your wine off of the sediment into your secondary container which is usually your glass carboy.

(The sediment is the stuff that accumulates at the bottom of your container.)

Attach your airlock and wait for your fermentation to be complete.

Although yeast activity will decrease as the fermentation process proceeds, there will still be fermentation going on as long as you still see some foaming or bubbling.

Stage 4: Aging / Bottling

You can repeat the racking process several times to get the maximum clarity though I would wait in-between each time a day or to, so the sediment can settle. I personally don’t like racking multiple times because of the risk of oxidation meaning the air touching it will give it a funny taste.

Bottle using the siphon cork and let wine sit for 6-12 months before drinking.
