[b]this is the recipe I'm using:
1 large watermelon
2 peaches
1/4 cup chopped raisins
juice of 3 limes
5 cups sugar
1 qt water
1 tsp acid blend
1 crushed Campden tablet
1 tsp yeast nutrient
wine yeast

Extract the juice from watermelon and peaches, saving pulp. Boil pulp in one quart water for 1/2 hour then strain and add water to extracted juice.
Allow to cool to lukewarm then add all ingredients except yeast to primary for a total of one gallon. Cover well with cloth and add yeast after 24 hours. Stir daily for 1 week and strain off raisins. Let stand additional 24 hours and rack.
Pour into secondary fermentation vessel, fit airlock, and set aside for 4 weeks. Rack and set aside another 4 weeks, then rack again.

Allow to clear, then rack final time and bottle. Allow 2 to 4 months before tasting.
