HOMEMADE PLUM WINE
RECIPE BY REBECCA WOOD & PHOTOGRAPH BY RINNE ALLEN
rebecca & rinne both have plum trees nearby and are trying out this recipe this summer...
- rinse plums and put in a pot
- almost cover with water and bring to the boil
- boil gently for 30 minutes
|
- strain into a colander (lined with cheesecloth or an old cotton dishtowel)
- next, for every gallon of juice, add 3 pounds of sugar (don't worry, all that sugar turns into alcohol)
and one pack of breadmaking yeast
- stir well and cover with a cheescloth
- let sit 3 weeks, until fermentation stops
- strain and bottle in sterlized bottles. let it age 3 months or more.
uncork and enjoy!

gardening leads to cooking.
having fresh grown vegetables on hand inspires the appetite.

perfectly.
