Calling all prunes!!!

[Intelekt]

Mornin,

Are there any decent prune juice recipes around :nah:

I know I could do a wow variant but is there anything prune juice based around? :?

I once did a prune based wow with red grape juce and prune juice. It was brown and :sick:.

Eventually the browness fell out and I was left with a reddish brown :sick: wine. Perhaps I don't like prunes?

Oh. I just bought a litre of 100% prune juice to make a wow style wine.
I went on the basis of them being derived from plums and I thought plum wine was nice.

Has anyone had good results using prune juice?

prune juice lol

the classic remedy for constipation :rofl:

reminds me of the joke about about the constipated mathematician

he worked it out with a pencil :thumb:

Not sure if brewing prunes would change the effect
I guess it could be an interesting experiment

I'd be tempted to give it a blast as just prune juice and sugar (maybe water if you want to stretch it out, but this could make the wine watery), see if that's any good. By tempted I also mean "put in my (not high hopes) experiments dj when I have a chance" But if you don't try you'll never know.

just got my copy of wine making the natural way by Ian ball

he has a recipe for tea and prune wine in the book :-)

might give it a go one day, but I have plenty of other recipe I want to try more than this one.

EDIT: CJJB also has a recipe but most I have seen use fresh or dried prunes

one post I found suggested to dilute prune juice in the ratio

2/3 juice + 1/3 water

another post I found say that the juice is purée prunes
so you may have a job clearing lol

Has anybody got any feedback on the results of prune wine?

....And does keep the properties of prune juice?
Does it loose the body, or the colour?
What would it blend with?
Does it lack tannin or acid in the end?
Just wondering.

I made a rhubarb and prune wine...

Fermented well enough, just didn't like the taste

As Rhubarb and Prunes are both laxatives, it sounds like a recipe for the Bavarian Bum Blaster.

Thanks for the feedback, and the cautionary note on Sorbates.

You can see from Bens Adventures in Winemaking in these blog entry photos that prunes will make your wine go a curious brown colour....

Of course this is with a parsnip and prune recipe, however the major colour obviously comes from the prunes.

On other days he actually mentions what it tastes like as well. From what I can gather something like a parsnippy sherry. He makes it every year so is clearly particularly fond of it.
