Hi I'm looking for a recipe for Lime and Raisin wine. Not a kit though as I
want to make it from scratch.

Anyone know where I might find it or have one they would like to share ?

TIA

Here is a recipe for raisin wine.

4 lbs. Raisins
1 tsp. K2S205 10% solution, or 1 campden tablet
1 Tbs. Citric acid = 12 Tbs. Lemon Juice ~ 4 lemons
2/3 US gal. Water (2.5 quarts)
1 packet yeast
[yeast nutrient]
[pectic enzyme]

Put raisins, 2.5 qts. water, and K2S205 in a primary. Cover and let soak for
a week Check SG (different brands of raisins vary immensely in sugar
content). Add water or sugar until SG=1.095. Adjust TA to .65. Add yeast and
nutrient. Keep under airlock at 70ºF. Stir or shake daily. When ferment
slows down, transfer to secondary, and top up. Rack about a month after
fermentation ends, and every 2-3 months thereafter until clear.

Then, and only then, add your lime juice for flavoring, if you wish. In my
experience, lime will always cause a fermentation to stick.

Another note: Raisin wine must be aged for at least two years before it is
drinkable.
