Making plum wine at home is one of my favorite housewife activities. Whenever summer comes and the plums turn red, I get busy collecting fresh plums and preparing to make delicious plum wine. In addition to drinking it at home, plum wine is also a good choice for giving as gifts. When friends come to visit me, I always invite them to taste my carefully brewed plum wine.
To make delicious plum wine, you must first of course have high-quality plums. I usually choose rich black plums, which have higher acidity and are suitable for making plum wine. The next ingredients are very simple, just sugar and sake. According to my ratio, one pound of plums requires 500 grams of white sugar and 500 ml of sake. The plum wine brewed in this way has moderate alcohol content and appropriate sweetness.
First, I wash and core the plums, then make a few cuts into each one to release more of the juice. Next, I will put a layer of plums in a large clean glass bottle, then sprinkle with a layer of white sugar, then put another layer of plums, and then sprinkle with a layer of white sugar until all the plums and white sugar are put in in the bottle.
Next, I heat the sake to 40 degrees and pour it into a glass bottle with plums and sugar. Then put the cap on the bottle, shake well and stir well to fully mix the plums, sugar, and sake. Then, I store the bottle in a cool and ventilated place and shake it once a day to ensure that each plum can fully release its flavor.
As the plum wine ages, I will taste it periodically to check that the wine has the right flavor and sugar content so I can make adjustments if needed. Usually, I let the plum wine age for 2-3 months. When the wine juice becomes cloudy, it means that the plum wine is mature and ready to drink.
Finally, I will filter the plum wine once to remove the plum residue, and then I can enjoy the delicious plum wine I made. I like to sit in the yard with a glass of cold plum wine on summer evenings, enjoying the summer breeze and the chirping of insects and birds.
Making plum wine at home not only makes me feel happy and satisfied, but also allows me to share this joy with my family and friends while enjoying the delicious food. I hope my sharing will be helpful to you, so that you can also make delicious plum wine and share it with your relatives and friends.
Plum wine is an alcoholic beverage with a unique flavor and rich taste that is deeply loved by consumers. It uses plums as raw material, and after a period of fermentation and aging, it becomes a sweet and delicious wine. With homemade plum wine, you can not only enjoy the wine made by yourself, but you can also adjust the proportion of ingredients to create a personalized plum wine. Next, I will introduce you how to make your own plum wine, and teach you the proportions of making a bottle of plum wine with fresh and fruity aroma.
First, prepare the ingredients and tools needed to make plum wine. You will need high-quality plums, sugar, sorghum wine (or other white wine), airtight glass jars, filter gauze, and bottles. The selection of plums is very important. It is best to choose plums that are ripe and have no damaged skin. The amount of sugar can be adjusted according to personal taste, usually 1/2 to 1/3 of the plum. As for the type of sorghum wine, you can choose according to your own preferences, but make sure the wine is of good quality and does not contain harmful substances.
Next, let us talk about the specific production steps. First, wash the plums to remove any debris and dust on them, and then wipe them dry with a damp cloth. Then use a paring knife to make a small opening in the plums to facilitate the juice release. Next, put the glass jar containing the plums into boiling water to sterilize, and then fill it with plums. Sprinkle the sugar over the plums, then pour in the sorghum wine and let the plums settle in the wine.
Then, seal the glass jar containing the plums, place it in a cool and ventilated place, and shake it gently every day until the wine flavor of the plums is slowly released. This process takes about a month. When the taste and aroma of the plum wine reach a satisfactory level, you can proceed to the next step.
When the aging time of plum wine reaches the required time, we need to filter out the plum wine. First, place the plum wine filter gauze in the funnel, then pour the plum wine into the funnel and let the plum wine slowly seep out. This process needs to be done slowly so as not to affect the taste and quality of the plum wine. After the filtration is completed, we can put the plum wine into bottles and seal them for storage.
In this way, a bottle of fresh and fruity plum wine is completed! This homemade plum wine not only tastes pure, but also has a rich fruity aroma, making it a great drinking experience. By adjusting the proportion of raw materials and aging time, we can also make plum wine more suitable for our own tastes, enriching the joy of life.
In general, when you make homemade plum wine, you can not only enjoy the wine you made by yourself, but you can also make plum wine more suitable for your own taste by adjusting the proportion of ingredients and aging time. I hope that through the introduction in this article, you will fall in love with homemade plum wine and enjoy the fun it brings.
