Another easy to prepare wine recipe which tastes really good. Some people ferment it without the seeds but I've found out that the seeds give it a different flavour which makes it all the more tasty. Try it.
Ingredients
2.25 kilos of plums
1.35 kilo of sugar
1 gallon of water
1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice
1 small sachet yeast
Method
Give your plums a good wash in water, discarding any that are overly bruised or moldy. Add them to a sterilized fermentation bucket, and bash them up quite a bit with a potato masher or a (clean) wine bottle. I like to keep the pits in because it gives the wine a really nice almond flavor.
Bring your gallon of water to the boil, and pour over your crushed plums. Put the lid on your bucket, and leave it for a few days (3-4) and swirl it around every day.
Add the lemon juice and sugar to your fermenting plums, and stir to mix. Then sprinkle the yeast on top. After an hour or so, give it a good stir. Cover and leave someplace warm for 21 days, stirring once or twice a day furing the initial days. After 21 days you can strain it and bottle it. Enjoy.
