How to choose prunes

Among those for whom vodka with prunes is not a novelty, disputes about what kind of dried fruit is good for tincture do not subside. Often the recipes specify berries without pits. In our opinion, this is a mistaken opinion. First, the bone imparts a light woody note in the fragrance. Secondly, it contains tannins, so that the tincture will be stored for longer and does not require special conditions. And thirdly, in prunes with a bone, the fragrance of fresh fruit is more clearly expressed.

When buying prunes, try it. The dried fruit should not be hard, and the bone should be separated from the pulp without problems.

Now about the number of berries to be planted. Prunes recipes of tinctures on vodka or moonshine are very contradictory in this respect. Often there are councils, where the sink by volume is equal to alcohol. Business master, but the more fruits, the more sweet the result will be, and the taste will become cloying. Try to start with the small amounts offered in the recipes outlined below.

Simple cognac

Since recipes for home-made tinctures on prunes are varied in composition, try to start with the easiest - you must be sure that you will like the drink on its own. Take three liters of refined moonshine or a good, not "burning" vodka. In a container with alcohol, dried fruits are pawned at the rate of eight large berries per liter. If you like sweet drinks, put a glass of sugar in there (to not regularly shake, you can turn it into syrup). To maintain the tincture you need a month in coolness and darkness, after which "cognac" is filtered through bottles, and raw materials are used repeatedly - it will suffice even for three portions.

The variant is more interesting

If you are interested in a more refined tincture on prunes, the recipe will have to be complicated. A bottle of vodka is taken 5-8 prunes, peppercorns (not spicy, and fragrant), 2-3 pieces, a clove of carnation vanillin - literally at the tip of the knife. To tincture on prunes absorbed the aromas to the maximum, the spices are pre-choked. The tightly closed container is removed again in the dark coolness of the week for two, then it strains and hides back - "reach".

If you want, you can also sprinkle the drink with sugar, but without it, the infusion is soft and pleasant.

Very complex composition

This tincture on prunes on moonshine is obtained much better than on vodka. And moonshine should be strong: the minimum bottom bar is 50 degrees. And the way of cooking is radically new. In three liters of alcohol, a spoonful of dry tea leaves (better not flavored), a few fragments of medium-roasted oak chips, several vanillin crystals, three clove buds, half a ginge of prunes and a full raisin are filled. You want a more pronounced color, you can add half a spoonful of instant coffee. The pan is covered with a lid and put on the stove. Its contents are brought to 90 Celsius, but in no time it does not boil! It is better to get a thermometer beforehand. Samogon strains, it returns dried fruits, and the drink is left to cool and gain scents. Thanks to the original approach, tincture on prunes will be ready in a few days.

Simulation of liquor "Malibu"

And, frankly speaking, a very successful imitation, one to one to taste similar to the favorite by many drinks. First, an ordinary prune tincture is made according to any of the recipes already described. Even the simplest version is suitable. Separately, a glass of alcohol pours 20 grams of mocha grains - it has a bright and pronounced flavor. You must not insist for more than an hour, otherwise your tincture on prunes will become unbearably bitter. After enough, merge the two pieces together. Exquisite fragrance in combination with a delicate taste you are guaranteed!

Aesthetes can further diversify the aroma-flavor bouquet. In tincture with coffee beans, almonds are also laid. Keep it the same time, because it also adds bitterness, and can also hammer the taste of dried fruit.

Honey tincture

We have already talked about vodka and moonshine tinctures, but you can also insist prunes on alcohol. Before cooking, alcohol should be diluted to 45-50 degrees. Naturally, only its food or medical variety is purchased. The water should ideally be distilled, but it will not spoil the cleaned up business. We remember: not water in alcohol, but vice versa! It is desirable to dilute it after a week in the cool, then strain. In a container for infusion put prunes. In the original recipe, it is recommended to take 200 berries, and pitted, 0.75 liters of diluted alcohol. In our opinion, this is a bit too much, considering the other components. We would suggest that we limit ourselves to 4 prunes to avoid excessive sweetness. But to solve, of course, the winemaker. In addition to dried fruits, vanillin (2 gram bag) and a linden-colored spoon are poured in, and half a cup of honey is poured. The capacity is filled with alcohol and the week is insisted. After straining the drink should be kept for two more days, and you can put on a festive table.

With what you can experiment

Tincture on prunes does not require strict adherence to the recipe. The dried fruit is rather liberal to combinations. In addition to these additions, people quite often introduce ginger or coriander; A very original aftertaste is given to the tincture of the walnut partition. An interesting solution will be the combination of prunes with different berries. Many people really like the drink, which combines the sweetness and astringency of plum with cranberry sourness. Although, no doubt, the choice of ingredients must be approached very carefully. Excellent "sounding" individually, in the company they can drown each other, and even make the taste extremely unpleasant. Experienced winemakers are advised to begin experimenting on a half liter of alcohol - so as not to be upset if drinking the end result will be impossible.

The time of insisting is also better at the first experience to choose "for yourself". A month is recommended, but you may not like the too pronounced taste and smell of prunes.
