As a housewife, I have always loved making homemade food and drinks at home, especially trying different infusion recipes. Recently, I started experimenting with making plum wine, a very popular traditional Japanese fruit wine. While making plum wine, I found it to be a very fun and satisfying process that filled me with a happy mood.
The steps for making plum wine are actually not complicated, but it does require some patience and care. First, choose fresh, ripe and undamaged plums. For the production of plum wine, choosing high-quality plums is crucial, as it will directly affect the taste and flavor of the plum wine. When choosing plums, pay attention to whether there are any damage or rot on the surface of the plums, and choose plums with moderate ripeness, so that the plum wine produced will be more delicious.
Next, wash the selected plums with water and pat them dry on the surface. In this process, I felt very happy because I could feel the freshness and sweetness of the plums. Next, cut the plums on the side with a knife to remove the core of the plums. This will make the plums easier to taste and release more juice.
Next, I placed the prunes in a clean glass jar and added the granulated sugar. According to my experience, the amount of sugar can be adjusted according to personal taste and the sweetness of the plums, but generally speaking, the recommended amount of sugar is about 20%-30% of the weight of the plums. Sugar can promote the release of juice, and can also balance the sourness of plums, giving plum wine a softer taste.
Then, pour the white wine into the glass jar, completely covering the plums. In this process, I usually choose to use colorless and odorless spirits such as Chinese liquor or vodka, which can better retain the flavor of the plums. After ensuring that the plums are completely soaked in the white wine, seal the glass jar and place it in a cool and ventilated place for brewing.
While waiting, I will shake the glass jar regularly, which can help the plums and white wine to fully mix, and also promote the release of the plums. According to my previous experience, the brewing time of plum wine is generally more than 3 months, but a longer time can make the plum wine have a softer taste and richer flavor.
In the process of waiting, housewives often face many family affairs and work, but I always take some time to pay attention to the brewing process of my plum wine. This makes me feel very happy, because I know that after waiting patiently during this time, I will have a delicious bottle of plum wine to enjoy with family and friends.
Finally, when the plum wine is finished brewing, I filter the plum wine through a strainer and store it in a clean glass bottle. At this time, the plum wine already has a light yellow color, a thick texture, and a strong plum fragrance, which makes people salivate.
How to make plum wine more delicious? Here, I would like to share a little trick. After taking out the refrigerated plum wine, add some black tea or lemon slices, which can add more layers and flavor to the plum wine. At the same time, in this way, the flavor of plum wine will be richer and softer.
Overall, making plum wine is a very fun and enjoyable process. In this process, I can not only feel the freshness and sweetness of the ingredients, but also the fun and satisfaction of cooking. With these steps, I created a delicious bottle of plum wine that my family and friends loved. Therefore, I highly recommend trying to make plum wine, and let’s enjoy this joy and deliciousness at home!
