The fruit should be somewhat fleshy, about one inch or more in length, and 3/4 inch wide, outer skin very dark purple and the flesh wheish purple and a large seed inside. YOU WILL NEED: Five kgs ripe jamul or about 4 kgs jamul pupl without seeds. 3 kgs sugar 250 gms wheat 3 gms citric acid 6 litres water 10 gms yeast 4 gms KMS Pour boiling water on the fruit. When cool, mash it up and pick out the seeds. Add 2 gms KMS. Keep for 24 hours. Strain into fermentation jar, add one-and-half kgs sugar, quarter kg wheat, 3 gs citric acid and activate yeast. After eight days add the remaining 1-1/2 kg sugar. Continue fermentation for 12 days more. Stir every alternate day. After 21 days, let the wine rest for decantation for 48 hours and rack. Add two gms KMS and bottle. Mature for at least three months. * * * Jamul Wine No 2 (Goan traditional) The following is a traditional recipe as given to me. I feel it should be modified as explained in the note below: YOU WILL NEED: 1 kg sugar 12 kgs jamul, washed In a jar, place a layer of Jamul. Cover it with a layer of sugar, continue with a layer of jamul and sugar, until jamul and sugar are over. Cover the container well, but not too tightly. Keep this for 21 days. Mash up the fruit with the sugar. Strain the solids through a cloth. Keep it for two days to decant. Rack and bottle, this is strong syrupy wine. NOTE: As there is no yeast, sugar is not likely to be converted into alcohol, unless the yeast on the fruit is sufficient to do the job.
