boyst Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 I have a lot of plums. All off of one tree because the other tree is stupid. So, I don't have enough to make it worth selling and because the heat some are spoiling fast. So, how about some ideas? I could use some recipes but also some fun ideas. I have already put m80's in some and threw them up in the air. Points for originality.
PromoTheRobot Posted June 27, 2015 Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) Get some glass gallon jugs, stuff then full of diced plums, add water with some sugar melted in, but don't cap it. Get a carboy or just cover in cloth and a rubber, and put it somewhere dark and cool for a few months. That's my mom's recipe for bathtub brandy. Edited June 27, 2015 by PromoTheRobot

I will do this tomorrow, after i run to get some cultivated yeast to help ferment this. edit, and i can distill it, too. Edited June 27, 2015 by jboyst62

After you get plum s**t-faced, take the leftover plums, smear them on your face, find out where your favorite supermodel or starlet is working, and give her this: Then post pics of her back in this thread. It's a win/win.

Saxum Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 Get dehydrator and make prunes out of them. My uncle had a farm and fed prunes to cows.
Whites Bay Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 We have a fruiting Stanley plum at the lake, and have a Santa Rosa and Shiro "on the way". My wife makes the BEST plum cake. It's like a strudel. Man, we're tap dancing for a week after harvest season.
boyst Posted June 28, 2015 Author Posted June 28, 2015 Ship me a case. Got any pears ? Pears are not coming in yet. If you can figure out the logistics of shipping ripe pears and cover the cost, I will. Get dehydrator and make prunes out of them. My uncle had a farm and fed prunes to cows. I need to get off my butt and make one of these. Instructions

Nanker Posted June 29, 2015 Posted June 29, 2015 This might be a better recipe. http ://youtu. be/g6-NIbsW-UE I definitely stir in the sugar and fruit at the start when I do this.
Chef Jim Posted June 30, 2015 Posted June 30, 2015 This might be a better recipe. I make limocello from the meyer lemons from my tree. I've had so man this year I've made over a gallon and tons of lemons left. All while using them for everything else under the sun. My wife makes a killer lemon curd. Took some to a friends and they asked how to use it. I said "with a spoon!"

I need to get off my butt and make one of these. Instructions Looks good but sounds like you may need more than one since angle can not be changed. If it was a kit I could build one but this is beyond my ability for I never took wood shop. To ship ripe pears you need "sleeves" for the fruit; when we buy asian pears (grown in US) the Korean supermarket we purchase from has each pear in its own styrofoam sleeve which looks like very thick spider web.
