This local resturant serves Limeade. Its kinda like lemonade but they use limes instead. Well it is really really good, so I figured making a lime wine would be cool. What do you guys think of this recipe?

<DIV ="post- entry-content">
2 dozen limes
1lb raisins, chopped
4lbs sugar
1 gallon water
1 tsp yeast nutrient
wine yeast
Peel limes and set aside. Place peels in fermentor. Dissolve sugar in 2 quarts boiling water; pour over peelings and let stand for 24 hours. Squeeze limes. Combine remaining 2 quarts water with raisins and lime juice. Squeeze limes in a separate container. Strain peel-water mixture into raisins and lime juice mixture and discard the peels; add yeast and nutrient, and put entire mixture into fermentor. Ferment for 2 weeks, stirring daily. Strain and pour into secondary fermentor. Age for at least 8 months.
