Have you been looking for something to do with the plums you have growing in your backyard? If so, you should consider making some homemade plum wine. Not only will the wine be ready to consume in 45 days, but it is also much easier to make than you might think.
Ingredients and Supplies:
2 gallons of plums
10 lbs. of sugar
2 packages of yeast
5-gallon water jug
pantyhose
rubber band
How to Make Homemade Plum Wine
Boil the plums in a pot for approximately 15 minutes or until they are soft.
After boiling, place the plums in pantyhose and strain the juice into a container.
Put the plum juice, sugar and yeast in a 5-gallon water jug.
Fill the remainder of the jug with water until it is full.
Place a thin cloth over the opening of the jug.
Place a rubber band over the opening of the jar to keep the cloth in place.
Set the jug in a warm, dark place for 45 days. After a while, you may notice it bubbling and foaming, but that is normal.
After the 45 days, you will notice a lot of settlings at the bottom of the jug, which will be a milky color. Do not shake it up because you don't want to mix it with the wine on top.
Carefully pour the wine out of the jar into another container, but stop when you get to the settlings.
The wine is now ready for consumption.
