Jack Fruit Wine/ Chakkappazham Wine
- Details
This time while returning from our Kerala trip, my MIL sent almost 2 kgs of jack fruit. With J, leaving for Delhi the next day, I felt that we won’t be able to finish off the entire stuff. I decided to make some wine with it. As I didn’t have any recipe in hand, I decided to try it my way.
As luck would have it, my MIL was with us when I was opening the wine jar. I was really anxious while serving her some wine for tasting. I was thrilled when she gave her stamp of approval.
