Ah, the tropical version! I make this one regularly, just like your recipe above. My wife was drinking some last night, as a matter of fact. She loves it. Has quite a kick, as well! I back sweeten to about 1.010, just how she likes it! Remember, even though you tested the SG at the beginning (for a finished ABV of about 12%), you will get a little more ABV from the sugars in the fruit as you sqeeze them out during primary fermentation. Did I say "quite a kick"?

This stuff is delicious! Good luck, Dave!

smells like I want to dump rum in it and wade into the chrystal blue water ala Mr Chesney

I think I'm going to try this with some fresh fruit. I haven't really made any wines with multiple fruits yet except for the occasional adding of raisins or dried cranberries to prolong the fermentation process.

Well, Loren, you have come to the right place! Welcome to the forum, by the way.

Try this one, too! http://www.winemakingtalk.com/forum/f2/dragon-blood-triple-berry-skeeter-pee-33076/

I am looking forward to summer and fall so I can try some fresh fruit as well. Meanwhile I am going to build a press soon I think
