How to make wine from cherry plum simple homemade? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Cherry plum can take any color. If you take a red cherry plum, then the wine will turn out to be a beautiful burgundy shade. And the yellow cherry plum will make white wine. Or you can, as I did, mix red and yellow. Go through the cherry plum, remove the spoiled. Wash the remaining whole fruits in running water.

Take two cans of 3 liters. If there is a bank of a larger volume, then you can take it. Fill the cans with cherry plum a little short of the shoulders.

Pre-cook the invert syrup and cool. Fill them with cherry plum. To make invert syrup, mix sugar and water in a saucepan. Place the pan on the stove, bring to the boil, stirring to dissolve all the sugar. Reduce the heat to a minimum and continue to cook the syrup for about 30 minutes. Cover the pan with a lid. Drip a drop of syrup onto a plate, if it does not spread, then it is ready.

Top up the water to reach the shoulders, fix the gauze on top and leave the jar under the gauze until fermentation begins. Bubbles will tell us about the beginning of fermentation.

Put a glove on the jar with the beginning of fermentation. Make needles in one or more fingers so that excess gas comes out. It is advisable to fix the glove itself well with an elastic band or tape, otherwise it can be torn off the can. Leave the jar to roam.

The glove will first rise and inflate from active fermentation. When the wine is reborn, the glove will be blown away and lowered. This means that it is time to filter out the cherry plum.

Strain the liquid through several layers of gauze. Squeeze out the cherry plum.

Pour the strained liquid into a clean jar, put the glove back on with a small hole and leave to roam until the sediment is separated. Then strain again through gauze, you can with cotton wool. Bottle the wine, cover with lids and remove the infusion for at least 2-3 weeks. The longer it takes, the tastier it will be. Observe the measure when drinking alcohol!
