My house smelled heavenly today on account that I was drying sage. I also started the annual plum wine… that’s right it’s “Plummy 2022”! This time it is using the yellow variety of plums. And lest I forget, this is the recipe for this batch… 16lbs plums after pitting (smashed with a potato smasher), 10lbs sugar, 4 gallons DI water, 5 campden tablets, 1 tsp tannins, 4 tsp acid blend, 3.5 tsp yeast nutrients, 4 tsp pectin enzymes, and 1 packet of wine yeast.

I should probably make a disclaimer that I don’t sell any wine or dried food. Also, a friendly reminder that this blog is just a journal of daily creative endeavors and only some of the items featured here may eventually be sold.

Plum wine started.

Dried sage.

Someday these will be a large grapevine.
