Jaboticaba wine: quick-n-fun exotic recipes
Jaboticaba (Myrciaria cauliflora)
Jaboticaba wine
A homemade tropical wine with rich berry flavor and a hint of earthiness. This traditional Brazilian recipe turns fresh Jaboticaba fruit into a deep purple wine with a unique aroma and flavor somewhere between grape and plum. Easy to make, fun to share!
🍴 Jaboticaba wine: quick-n-fun exotic recipe
Ingredients
- 4 lb fresh ripe Jaboticaba fruits (Myrciaria cauliflora)
- 2 to 3 cups granulated sugar per gallon of pulp
- 1 gallon non-chlorinated water
- 1 tsp wine yeast (optional)
- 1 cinnamon stick or a few cloves (optional)
- Clean glass fermenting jar or food-grade bucket with loose cover
Instructions
- Wash and lightly crush Jaboticaba fruits. Do not remove skins; they add flavor and color.
- Mix crushed fruit with sugar and enough water to make about one gallon of pulp. Stir until sugar dissolves.
- Cover loosely and leave in a warm place (70-80F). Stir once or twice daily. Fermentation begins within 1-2 days.
- Let ferment 5-10 days, stirring daily. When bubbling slows, strain through cheesecloth into a clean jug.
- Seal loosely with an airlock or vented cap. Rest 2-4 weeks in a cool, dark spot (60-70F).
- Carefully pour clear wine into bottles, leaving sediment behind. Cork and let age a few more weeks.
- Chill before serving. Enjoy responsibly!
Tips
- Reduce sugar to 1.5 cups per gallon for a drier wine.
- Add more sugar after first fermentation for a sweeter dessert wine.
- Add a spoon of honey for a floral note.
- Save the skins to make Jaboticaba syrup or jam.

- Avocado and cocoa aren't just a delicious combo - they’re also great for your brain. Studies show that
- Avocados are rich in monounsaturated fats and lutein, nutrients that support sharp thinking and long-term brain health. Cocoa, meanwhile, enhances circulation in the brain and has been linked to lower risk of stroke and dementia. So, growing your own avocado and cacao trees means growing your own natural brain boosters right in your garden.
- Try blending the two in simple treats like avocado chocolate mousse or a smoothie with banana and almond milk - creamy, rich, and packed with brain-loving nutrients.
