I was given over 15 pounds of yellow plums today and decided to try my hand at making a plum wine, which I know little about. The plums are perfect, getting a little soft and very sweet. After looking at a recipe it calls for cutting the plums up and removing the pits. I barely could cut my plums and basically mashed them with my fingers, however, I found it difficult to remove the pit without wasting most of the plum, or taking way longer then I wanted to spend to remove them.
Question is if the pits will really effect the flavor if I'm to leave the plums in the fruit bag for 3-5 days in the fermenter. I hope I didn't screw this up to much. If so, I'll add vodka and serve it to my freinds right away, sugar and all. And no....I'm not digging back through to remove the pits.
