How do you do it Micky? I've got an orchard of plum trees and I'm keen to find a use for them as they don't keep well

She makes it in 5 gallon batches   17 lb  Damsons 

                                                             12  lb Sugar

                                                              2  lb  Raisons  

    

 

Stone Damsons  

Freeze for a Week

Put in straining bag and Mash

Boil half water and dissolve Sugar pour over fruit

Add 1 Campden Tablet

Stir then leave 12 Hours

Add the rest of the Water to bring Temp ,Down to 20 dig C.

 

 the Acid Blend  ,Pectic enzyme and yeast nutrient.....stir well and leave 12 hours  add red Wine yeast 

leave to ferment 10 days  stirring each day 

take out straining bag and squeeze  back into the liquor 

Fit Airlock  and leave to clear , ours took 3 months ,

Bottle and then drink when ever you want

This is a simple  Cottage recipe  that my Mrs uses for most Fruit Wine
