Plum wine - recipe
Ingredients:
- ripe plums - 10 kg;
- sugar;
- water.
Preparation
Ripe plums leave the day at 3 so that they get sun in the daytime. You do not need to wash them. When the fruits lie in the sun, wild yeasts that promote fermentation will appear on their surface. Bones from the plums are extracted, pulp is turned into puree. Then the resulting mass in a 1: 1 ratio is diluted with water and left for 2 days in a dark warm place. Once in 6-8 hours must be mixed with a wooden stick or just a clean hand. After that, the cuticle with the pulp will begin to actively separate from the juice, and on top will appear bubbles. This means that the process of fermentation has gone. Filter the wort through gauze, and pour the resulting juice into a fermentation vessel.
Now came the turn of sugar. Its quantity will depend on how sweet the plums originally were and how sweet the wine would be. For dry or semi-dry wine, you need 150-200 g of sugar per liter of juice, and for a semisweet and sweet drink, respectively, 250-350 g of granulated sugar is required.
To ferment went well, it is desirable to add sugar not all at once, but in parts. The first batch - about half of the total volume is added immediately after the juice is poured into the container and mixed well. Fill the vessel with juice no more than ¾ volume. With active fermentation, carbon dioxide and foam will form, which also needs space. After that, we install a water seal on the tank, even an ordinary rubber glove, pierced in one place with a needle, will do. When the fermentation is finished, and the domestic plum wine is ready, the glove will fall.
