Fruit cocktail wine!
Hey guys. I have a buddy of mine who is insisting on me making a fruit cocktail wine. Has anyone ever tried this? Sounds weird but what the hell right?

I'm willing to bet MCH has.
But, maybe this guy?

Re: Fruit cocktail wine!
This makes me think of the old pineapple hooch we used to make at a restaurant I worked at back in the day. We'd get big cans of pineapple chunks in juice that we'd strain out for use on pizza. We'd end up with a few gallons of juice each day which we usually dumped. I got the idea it'd be clever to save some in a plastic bucket back by the water heater and let it turn. There was enough yeast in the air to have it working in just a few days. Went to dryness and was drinkable, not exactly fine drink but it was passable enough to do it several more times.....

Reminds me of a recipe for Raisin Jack that I read a long time ago. Some WWII vet spelled out a method that he was familiar with but I don't remember the exact details. It went something like this.
Take a 5 gal Jerri-can and fill it with 3 cans of fruit cocktail (big gallon cans from the ship's galley), 1 or 2 bags of sugar and then water and bread yeast. Strap down to the top of a truck and let stand alone for 3 or 4 days.
Presumably the Army truck would be on the top, exposed level of a LST or transport ship. The motion of the ocean, direct sunlight and absorbed heat from the olive drab canvas truck canopy would all contribute to quick fermentation.
