Jalapeño Wine in the Making!

This past weekend we purchased 200 lbs of Jalapenos.  We have made a delicious wine out of Jalapenos before and we are hoping to recreate that recipe again.  In fact our Jalapeno wine recipe just received 3rd in the Wisconsin State Fair Amateur Wine Competition.  The Jalapeno wine is great to sip by itself if you can handle the heat, but if you can't it is still great to mix with things.  So far we have tried it in Margaritas, Bloody Mary's, and in cooking!  It adds a nice kick to things without being too overpowering.  Here are some pictures from our Jalapeno wine making this past weekend.

We had 5 boxes of 40lbs delivered!

Every Jalapeno was rinsed and then destemmed before going in.

After the Jalapenos were pureed they were added to the container.  

We even had a friend visit and get a tour of the winery!  It's always fun sharing the production process with fellow wine lovers!

Making Jalapeno wine is a labor of love.  By the end of the day our hands were tingling and our noses were burnt, but we know it is all worth it in the end because this stuff is delicious!

And now we have the proof....

Thank you for your interest in Timber Hill Winery and stay tuned for more updates!
