Prune Plums and Port Wine Comments Please

Oct 01, 2006 0 Replies

My dear neighbor harvested his prune tree yesterday and gave me about



30 pounds (weighed with pits).

This morning i'm smashing and de-pitting them and eating a few and thinking port with these plums instead of the Petite Syrah I'd planned for port wine.



So here's a basic plan for 3 gallons of Prune Plum Port:


25 lbs of Prune Plums
1 lbs golden raisins Priemer Cuvee

Ferement on skins



Add sugar in stages till alcohol level is as far as yeast will take it.



Add Everclear to 20% as (if) needed.



Sweeten to taste.



Age and bottle.



Commets please as this will be the first time for a port>



TIA Steve noobie Oregon
