How to make plum wine without adding sugar?
Making plum wine without adding sugar is actually quite easy. The first thing you need to do is to find some ripe plums. Plums that are too ripe will turn to mush and not give your wine the right flavor. Once you have found some ripe plums, wash them off and remove the pits. Once the pits are removed, you can quarter the plums or leave them whole depending on your preference.
Next, you need to sterilize your fermentation vessel and all of your equipment. This is important because you don’t want any unwanted bacteria contaminating your wine. Once everything is sterilized, you can add the plums to your fermentation vessel. If you are using whole plums, make sure to crush them a bit so that the juice can start to flow.
Now it’s time to add yeast. There are many different types of yeast that you can use for wine making, but for this recipe we recommend using a white wine yeast. Once the yeast is added, give everything a good stir and cover your vessel with a airtight lid.
Now it’s time to let nature take its course. The yeast will start to eat the sugar in the plums and convert it into alcohol. This process can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months depending on the temperature of your fermenting vessel. Once the fermentation process is complete, you can bottle your wine and enjoy it!
