For 59p a kilo grabbed 2kg of peaches in Lidls.
1kg stoned peaches
250g Sultanas ( which I didn't use)
1kg Sugar
2 tsp pectolase
1.5 tsp citric
2 tea bags
1 tsp nutrient
Harris yeast (rated 18%)
OG at least 1130, was over 20c, recipe didn't require sultanas or grape juice, got so used chucking in sultanas in white type wines, which has driven up sg more than I wanted. Orginal recipe had 675g of peach & 1.2 kg of sugar, thought leave the 200g sugar and put the extra peach in, then promptly forgot and added the sultanas on autopilot as it were, to late now. Blended sultanas with boiling water, stood for 15 mins in boiling water before blending, then into dj over sugar and dissolved with boiling water top up. Blended peaches then brought to boil and simmered and into dj. Cooled in water bath. Then added nutrient, citric, tea and finally yeast. Anyway fermenting away.
Might do another batch with 675g of peach with no sultanas.
