HOMEMADE PLUM WINE

Homemade Plum Wine image

Plum wine is earthy, rich, and smooth. It is delicious as an after-dinner wine or served chilled as an aperitif. It's also a great base for mulled wine.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

5 lbs of ripe plums (no moldy ones)
3 lbs of sugar
16 cups of filtered water (chlorine-free)
1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice (not bottled)
1 packet champagne yeast (affiliate link)

Steps:

Throughout the wine-making process, it is important to sanitize EVERYTHING that comes into contact with the plums. (See the section above for more information).
Wash the plums, remove the stems, and put them in a large pot. Then use a potato masher to roughly break the skins.
Bring the water to a boil. Then pour the boiling water over the plums. You can do this in batches with an electric kettle. The boiling water is to help kill off any mold or bacteria that might be on the skin of the plums.
Put a lid on the pot and stash it in a quiet corner of your house to cool.
After 24 hours, add the lemon juice and sugar to the plums and give them a good stir. Follow the instructions on the yeast package (mine involves re-hydrating before use), then stir the yeast into the plums. Give everything another good stir after one hour to make sure it is well mixed. If you want to calculate the alcohol levels, remove some of the liquid at this point to measure the specific gravity (see section above for details).
Cover the pot and leave it somewhere warm to ferment for 4-6 days. Give the mixture a good stir once or twice a day.
After the initial ferment, filter out the solids and move the liquid to your carboys. It's better to leave some of the liquid behind in the solids than to have solids in your carboys. I usually use a siphon to get out most of the liquid. Then I strain the rest through a mesh brewing bag and bottle it right away for a bit of plum cider. It carbonates very quickly, so stash it in the fridge right away and use a bottle that can handle the buildup of carbonation. It should be carbonated and ready to drink after 2-3 days in the fridge.
Top the carboys with an airlock and leave them to ferment for 2 weeks.
After 2 weeks, rack the wine into a clean jug for another round of fermentation. (This is to remove the spent yeast, which really doesn't taste good. Skipping this step will result in a not-so-tasty wine.)
After two months bottle the wine. The wine needs to age for at least 10 months to develop a nice mellow flavor. I'm often tempted to sample it early, but it's always a disappointment.

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 a bit with a potato masher or a (clean) wine bottle. Note: The important thing with brewing whole stone fruits is to not crack the pits in the process. Including the seeds is a controversial topic, since they contain cyanic glucosides– which can convert into cyanide. The biggest cause of cyanide leeching into the brew is broken seeds. I like to keep the pits in because it gives the wine a nice almond flavor, but if you are at all concerned, just take them out.
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 four days, stirring once or twice a day. (Sometimes I just grab the bucket and firmly swish it around.)
It’s time to move it to some demijohns. I like to do this by just using a siphon hose in the bucket, with a funnel topped with a small sieve in the mouth of the demijohn. Keep the hose a good inch away from the bottom of the bucket, so you don’t suck up all of the yeasty sediment. Once you have the wine in the demijohn(s) top with an airlock.

Spiced Plum Custard Cake. Do you want a cake with a little bit of spice, a little bit of sweetness, and a creamy custard texture? You’ve come to the right place.
Brown Sugar Plum Clafoutis. Don’t let the name of this dessert scare you away. It’s a traditional dessert from France, but it’s said to be easy to make.
Upside Down Plum Cake. One of my favorite cakes as a kid was an upside-down pineapple cake. My mom made them regularly, and they were delicious. This recipe is a take on the traditional pineapple upside-down cake.
Plum Cobbler. Who doesn’t love a warm cobbler fresh out of the oven? You can throw it together quickly, and it doesn’t require fancy ingredients to make it happen.
Asian Plum Sauce. Let’s take a break from desserts for a minute and switch gears to a different meal of the day: dinner. If you enjoy Asian inspired food, you’re probably familiar with plum sauce.
Plum Jam Recipe. Nothing is better than sweet homemade jam. It goes deliciously on toast for breakfast, or it can be used in thumbprint cookies for dessert.
Easy Plum Chutney. I’m a huge fan of chutney, but I must admit, up until a couple of years ago I hadn’t indulged in it. Once I took the plunge, there was no turning back.
Fresh Plum and Oat Muffins. Muffins are an easy breakfast idea. They’re great for little hands who like to munch on breakfast while they’re toddling around the house.
Late Summer Plum Cake. As summer fades away, would you enjoy a tasty cake to help soothe those blues? If you said yes, this recipe could be exactly what you need.
Plum Fruit Leather. Fruit leathers are an enjoyable way to eat healthy on the run. They won’t satisfy as a meal, but they do make an easy snack to curb your hunger.

HOMEMADE PLUM WINE : 8 STEPS - INSTRUCTABLES

Gather Supplies. Required supplies & ingredients: (per 5 gallon batch) -Fermenting bucket with lid & spigot. -1 glass/plastic carboy. -3 piece airlock & bung.
Get Your Hands Dirty! Take the straining bag and put it in a bucket. Using your hands, smash the plums & remove the pit/stones. The goal is to keep everything but the pits & stems.
Makin' Must. Put the spigot on your fermentation bucket and test for leaks. Use water, you don't want to find out with sticky plum juice!! Put the bag full of processed plums in the bucket and pour in the juice.
Make a Yeast Starter (optional) Making a yeast starter, while not required, is a good idea. A yeast starter gives the yeast a chance to wake up and hit the ground running.
Let's Get This Party Started! Until this point sanitation hasn't really been a factor. Everything that touches the must from now on MUST BE SANITIZED!I can't stress this enough.
Transfer to a Secondary Fermenter. Once the gravity reaches 1.030 (7-10 days or when the airlock slows down) transfer the must into a sanatized carboy and put the airlock on top.
And Wait..... After about a month, transfer the wine into a clean carboy. If you only have one, transfer it back into the fermenting bucket, clean the carboy, and transfer it back.
Bottling. When the wine is finally ready, it's time to bottle. I used swing top beer bottles because I had a bunch of them lying around. Alternately, you can use regular beer bottles, wine bottles, or Mason jars.
