It is the season of plums, and as a fruit that we can see every day, plums are loved by many people. The friends who like to drink also came to ask the editor whether the plums will make wine. I heard that plum wine can cause cancer. Is this true? Today, I will give you a detailed answer and tell you if plums can be used to make wine.
Is it possible to make wine with plums? Is it true that plum wine causes cancer?
Nowadays, most people like to make their own dishes, desserts and wine. In everyday life, people who know a little about alcohol like to drink fruit wine. However, if used in the wrong way, it can easily lead to discomfort and other adverse symptoms. Today, let’s find out whether the cancer caused by plum wine is true or not, and whether they can continue to eat after plum wine?
I. Is it true that plum wine causes cancer?
The whole plum wine can cause cancer. This is because unpitted plums contain small amounts of urethane, which can cause cancer in humans. When unpitted plums are soaked in high alcohol for a longer period of time, the concentration of urethane increases as the soaking time increases and the storage temperature rises.
Therefore, when making plum wine from plums at home, Guo Guo recommends that you remove the cores from the plums or remove the whole plums within 100 days when making plum wine from them. Of course, this doesn’t mean you can’t use the whole plum to make wine. If you want to use the whole plum to make wine, Guo Guo recommends that you choose plum wine that does not hurt the skin, so that the amount of ethyl carbamate in the plum wine will be less.
What is qualified Chinese plum wine?
First of all, it is obvious that the color of the plum wine is what qualifies it. The color of qualified plum wine should be transparent and clear. If the color of plum wine brewed by fruit friends is cloudy and moldy, it means that the brewing of bitter fruit wine has failed.
The reasons for the failure of plum wine brewing are as follows.
1、No moisture on the surface of the plum during the production process.
2. The container used for brewing plum wine is not sufficiently sterilized.
3. The white wine used to brew the plums was not high enough.
4. The ratio of plums to wine is not well matched. The best ratio of plums to wine is 1:1.
5. If the plum wine comes into contact with oil and salt during the brewing process, clean the pot in which the plums are cooked thoroughly.
Can plums be used to make wine?
Nowadays, many people like to brew plum wine at home. In addition to the fun of making wine, drinking homemade plum wine has a different taste. However, after drinking plum wine, there will be plums after brewing. Many people want to know if the plums are still edible after brewing. Guo Guo tells you that plums soaked in wine can be eaten, but not directly.
Plums soaked in wine have a higher alcohol content because they have been soaked in alcohol for a longer period of time, so they are not suitable for direct consumption. Moreover, after a long time of alcohol fermentation, the taste of plums soaked in wine is not particularly good. Therefore, people often soak in the wine plums for secondary processing to make sour plums or sour plum sauce for consumption, the production process of sour plum sauce can refer to the production method of sour plum sauce ~
Four, the preparation method of plum sauce
The ingredients we need to make sour plum sauce are: plums, rock sugar, sugar, salt and water.
1. Use a clean, oil-free stainless steel pot to bring lightly salted water with an appropriate amount of salt to a boil, and place the plums in the pot and cook for 3-5 minutes. Then take them out and soak them in cold water to cool and drain.
2、After draining the water, peel and core the plums. Put the processed plums into a stainless steel pot, pour in water without plums, bring the weight to a boil, change the heat to low, and add an appropriate amount of rock sugar.
3. Continue stirring while boiling. After the icing sugar melts, add an appropriate amount of sugar and cook until thickened. After reading this article shared by the editor, I believe that many of my friends can answer the question of whether plums can brew their own wine. However, I still want to remind you that although plums can be used to make wine, you should not crave them. More importantly, I would like to remind you that you should not drink when driving, and you should not drive when drinking. We still have to be good kids.
