I reckon about 8 - 10 weeks, which handily makes it ready for Christmas drinking - and the excess for presents. I make mine in a demijohn so the extra produced by adding sugar and by the action of the alcohol drawing juice from the fruits (they look like prunes when done) makes up about enough for a small screw-top wine bottle - you know, the third of a bottle ones. The are a highly prized gift. Make some labels on your printer - a unique present. I always like to make extra jams and chutneys too. It make Christmas seem less of a commercial mania and more of a giving of something of yourself.
Little rant over, back on my head!
