Plums......

[serum]

Poacher's Choice has damsons which aren't a mile off. That's a tasty drop. Also the plum porter as mentioned is pretty tasty.

I imagine they'd be pretty nice in a light beer too, maybe a dry Belgian blond / saison / wit base with a load of plums in.

In the end i only made jam and using the link below a plum brandy and a plum white rum.
Need a bit more planning next year as the plums I picked soon started to go past their best very quickly.

This is a photo of my Plum wine must - just prior to adding the yeast last night.

SG was reading as 1.086 - is this a reliable reading given that there must be currently undissolved sugars in the fruit ? I did give the plums a giid bashing before adding water, sugar etc.

Plum and chilli sauce/jam is well worth making. Use as a condiment, as a stir-fry sauce or as a glaze depending on exactly how you tweak the recipe.
Add crushed Campden tables or similar preservatives to extend he shelf life and you should get 12 months out of it with no problems.
