Anyone have recipes using wild plums?

Jelly would be good; wine is a little more complicated than I want to get into. Any other ideas?

I have a friend that makes a plum bob drink

I believe he juices the plumbs adds sugar and windsor? I think any way IT is really tasty after the process. I do not think it is that hard either try googling it

My mother makes the BEST jam ever with plumbs. I'll try to get you the recipe.

A buddy and I were a little bored the other day and got creative.

I now have a 5 gallon bucket of plum wine fermenting in the kitchen. Never tried making it before, hopefully it will be drinkable!!!

I also have 5 gallons of wild grape wine fermenting.

It's not that hard to do. Clean buckets, 2 gallons of ripe fruit, 10 lbs of sugar, a packet of WINE yeast, homemade air lock, and 30-45 days of time.

I can post the process if you are interested. No guarantees on the outcome though, have about a month to go for preliminary results

We also juiced some plums, added a ton of sugar along with some everclear. Not bad! But the color of the drink couldn't be gayer!!

DonBo, sounds like I'll have to try making some jam too!

Plum Bump Fill quart jar with plums that have been scored with a knife. Depending how sweet they are Add 1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar. Then fill jar up with vodka. Let sit for three months turning every once in a while. Pour over ice and add a little seven up and enjoy. This canbe done with most friuts. Have made apple, plum,grape,rhubarb. Tried peaches nasty.

P.S. DO NOT EAT THE FRUIT!!

That one sounds good! Looks like I'll have to make another trip down the fence line

It is good but it will sneak up and get ya if you have to much one year during We Fest there was 6 of us and we opened 8 quarts which is equel to about a gallon of straight booze. It was interesting to say the least.

Anybody trying this recipe? I know three months is a time to wait but ooooh sooo goooooood.

I never got back out in time to grab some more plums

The wild grape wine I made turned out awesome!! I think I could sit down and drink a whole bottle of that stuff!

The plum wine I made is a little too tart and acidic to drink much more than a sip.......I'll have try something new next year with the plums.
