Cheers DaaB...I think 
Damson Wine 1 gallon CCJ Berry's recipe
1.75kg Damsons
0.25kg Barley
1.75kg Sugar
4.5 ltrs water
Yeast and nutrient
Pectic Enzyme
Grind the Barley, stone and cut the fruit, putting both into a bucket.
Pour over them boiling water,when cool add the pectic enzyme (as per instructions, usually 1tsp per gallon) cover losely and leave for 4 days.
Stri daily for th 4 days.
Then strain the fruity liquor from the pulp (fruit and barley) into a seperate bucket which already contains the sugar and yeast nutrient.
Stir until dissolved, or as close as dammit
Then add the yeast, preferably a Burgandy wine yeast but a general wine yeast will do.
Keep covered in a warm place for a week, then pour into a fermenting jar, with an airlock fitted.
When the wine clears transfer to another fermenting jar and when fermentation has stopped, bottle
That's it for CCJ Berry, who's recipe's my wife has found to be basically very good.
There are other wine forums out there of which DaaB is a member who offer more varied recipe's to the one shown...I'm sure he'll pm you the link
