I need to correct my statement. not boiling water but rather boiled water. I added the honey at 100 degrees F. Batch turned out good. I am going to try staging my honey additions, per your advise and much reading on mead. We are all students, the day we believe we are masters is the day we are...

Yes, 5 gallons of water.

The plum took dominance but it has a nice apricotiness. Great dessert wine. Pairs well with extra sharp cheddar, in my opinion.

I cut the fruit up, absolutely no pits or seeds. Mix all in bucket, cap with bubbler. Mix daily for 30 days. I put a net in bucket then lift out net and fruit remnants. Squeeze/drip out juice. Transfer to bottling bucket, and bottle. Wait 3-6 months to age and drink. Abv came out to just over 6%.
