I’m a housewife and am so excited and happy about making plum wine at home. Plum wine is an ancient alcoholic beverage with a unique sweet taste that goes well with different dishes and fruits. Making plum wine is not difficult, it just requires some patience and careful preparation and can be easily done at home. In this article, I will share my detailed steps for making plum wine, precautions, and how to make plum wine more delicious.
First of all, the ingredients for making plum wine are very simple, just prunes, sugar and alcohol. It is very important to choose fresh and ripe plums, because ripe plums will release more natural acidity and aroma, making plum wine more delicious. Before making, I wash the plums to remove the stems and impurities, and then dry them in a sunny place.
Next, I will put the cleaned plums into the bottle and add enough granulated sugar. The amount of sugar can be adjusted according to personal taste, but generally speaking, the ratio of plums to sugar is 1:1. Then, I will completely immerse the plums in the alcohol from the bottle to ensure that the plums are fully exposed to the alcohol and that the flavor of the plums is completely dissolved into the alcohol. Shake the bottle slightly to mix the plums and alcohol thoroughly.
In the process of making plum wine, I also need to pay special attention to a few things. The first is the sealing problem of the bottle. I will choose a bottle with better sealing performance, and after filling it with plums and alcohol, check whether there is any air leakage at the mouth of the bottle. If there is, reseal it in time. Next is the fermentation process. I will put the bottle filled with plums and alcohol in a cool and ventilated place, and shake the bottle every day to allow the plums and alcohol to be fully mixed. The last step is the storage time. The fermentation time of plum wine is usually 3 months to half a year. I will choose the appropriate storage time according to my own taste and needs.
In the end, the key to making plum wine more delicious lies in choosing good ingredients and careful preparation. Before making, I will carefully select fresh and ripe plums, and ensure the sealing performance of the bottle and the hygiene of the fermentation environment. Through careful production and patient waiting, the plum wine produced is sweet and delicious, leaving people with endless aftertaste.
Overall, the process of making plum wine is simple and fun. You only need some basic materials and careful making process to make delicious plum wine at home. By choosing good ingredients, precautions, and a few tips, I believe every housewife can easily make amazing plum wine. Let’s make plum wine together and let our family and friends enjoy the delicious taste!
Plum wine is a traditional fruit wine with a long history in Japan and Korea. It is based on fresh plums and sugar, plus alcohol such as sake or vodka. After a period of fermentation and aging, it becomes a sweet and sour fruit wine. The taste of plum wine is slightly sour and slightly sweet, refreshing and pleasant, making people forget to leave.
By making your own plum wine at home, you can not only enjoy the pure flavor, but also adjust the sweetness and alcohol concentration according to your own taste, making this delicious fruit wine more in line with your personal preferences. Next, I will share with you a simple and easy method of making homemade plum wine, hoping to inspire more people to try this delicious fruit wine.
First, we need to prepare some fresh plums and sugar. When choosing plums, it is best to choose mature plums with smooth skin and no obvious scars. This will ensure that the plum wine tastes better. Then wash the plums, remove the plum cores, and gently mix the plums with fine sugar to evenly coat them with a layer of sugar. The amount of sugar can be adjusted according to your own taste and the sweetness of the plums.
Next, we need a clean airtight container, put the plums that have been mixed with sugar into the container, and then add sake or vodka so that the plums are completely soaked in the wine. Be careful to choose colorless and odorless alcohol to ensure a purer taste of plum wine. Then seal the container and place it in a cool and ventilated place. Gently shake the container every day to allow the plums and alcohol to be fully mixed.
The aging time of plum wine can be adjusted according to personal preferences and tastes. Generally speaking, it needs to be aged for at least one month to ensure that the flavor of plum wine is stronger. If time permits, it is best to age it for more than three months, which can make the plum wine richer in flavor. During the aging process, you can open the container from time to time and smell the aroma of plum wine, so that you can understand the aging status of plum wine.
When the plum wine is finished aging, it’s time to filter and bottle it. For filtration, you can use filter paper or a filter to filter out the plum residue and impurities in the plum wine, and then put the plum wine into a clean glass bottle. It is best to store plum wine in a cool and dry place, which can extend the shelf life of plum wine. You can put a label on the wine bottle to indicate the aging time and alcohol concentration of the plum wine, so that you and your friends can learn more about this delicious fruit wine.
Of course, if you encounter difficulties in making your own plum wine, you can also choose to buy ready-made plum wine on the market and enjoy it. There are many kinds of plum wine on the market, and some products have added flavors of other fruits to make the taste richer. Whether it is homemade or commercially available plum wine, people can enjoy the sweet and sour taste and leave them nostalgic.
Whether you make it at home or buy it from outside, plum wine is a great drink to share with friends and family. In summer, a glass of ice-cold plum wine can not only quench thirst and relieve irritation, but also bring a refreshing feeling. In winter, a cup of hot plum wine can warm the whole body and make people feel comfortable and happy.
Plum wine is not only a delicious fruit wine, but also has certain health care value. Plum wine is rich in vitamins and minerals, which has a certain tonic effect on the human body.
