How to choose prunes
Among those for whom vodka with prunes is not inNovelty, the debate about which dried fruit is suitable for tincture does not subside. Often in the recipe indicated berries without pits. In our opinion, this is a misconception. First, the bone gives a light woody flavor. Secondly, tannins are present in it, so the tincture will be stored longer and will not require compliance with special conditions. And thirdly, in prunes with a bone, the fragrantness of the fresh fruit is more pronounced.
When buying prunes, be sure to try it. Dried fruit should not be hard, and the bone should be separated from the pulp without problems.
Now about the number of pledged berries.Prune recipes tincture of vodka or moonshine in this regard is very controversial. Often there are tips where draining is equal in volume to alcohol. The thing is a master, but the more fruits, the sweeter the result will be, and the taste will become cloying. Try starting with the small amounts offered in the recipes below.
Simple brandy
Поскольку рецепты домашних настоек на черносливе vary in composition, try to start from the very easiest - you must be sure that you will enjoy the drink by itself. It takes three liters of purified moonshine or good, not "fake" vodka. Dried fruits are placed in a container with alcohol at the rate of eight large berries per liter. If you like sugary drinks, add a glass of sugar there (in order not to shake it regularly, you can turn it into syrup). It is necessary to withstand the tincture for a month in coolness and darkness, after which the "cognac" ottstezhivaetsya in bottles, and the raw materials are used again - it will be enough even for three portions.
The option is more interesting
If you are interested in a more refined tincture onprunes, the recipe will have to complicate. On a bottle of vodka, 5-8 prunes, pepper-peas (not spicy, but sweet), 2-3 pieces are taken, a bud of vanilla cloves is literally on the tip of a knife. To infusion on prunes absorbed the flavors to the maximum, spices pre-choke. A tightly closed container is removed for two weeks in the dark coolness, after which it drains and hides back - “to reach.”
If you wish, you can again flavor the drink with sugar, but without it the infusion turns soft and pleasant.
Very complex composition
This tincture on prunes on moonshine is obtainedMuch better than vodka. And the moonshine should be strong: the minimum lower plank - 50 degrees. And the cooking method is radically new. A spoon of dry tea leaves (preferably not flavored), a few fragments of medium roasted oak chips, several vanillin crystals, three clove buds, half a handful of prunes and a full raisin are poured into three liters of alcohol. You want a more pronounced color, you can add half a spoon of instant coffee. The pan is covered with a lid and placed on the stove. Its content is brought to 90 Celsius, but it does not boil at all! It is better to get a thermometer in advance. Moonshine is filtered, dried fruit is returned to it, and the drink is left to cool and collect flavors. Thanks to the original approach, the tincture on prunes will be ready in a few days.
Imitation of Malibu liqueur
And, frankly, a very successful imitation,One to one taste similar to many favorite drink. First, make a regular prune tincture according to any of the recipes already described. Suit even the easiest option. Separately, 20 grams of mocha grains are poured into a glass of alcohol - it has a bright and pronounced aroma. Need to insist no longer than an hour, otherwise your tincture on prunes will become unbearably bitter. After it is enough to merge both blanks together. Exquisite aroma combined with a delicate taste are guaranteed!
Estets can diversify even morefragrant flavor bouquet. Almonds are also added to the tincture with coffee beans. Keep it to the same time, because it also gives bitterness, and can also clog the taste of dried fruit.
Honey Tincture
We have already talked about vodka and moonshinetinctures, but you can also insist prunes on alcohol. Before cooking, alcohol must be diluted to 45-50 degrees. Naturally, only food or medical type is purchased. The water should ideally be distilled, but the purified case will not spoil. Remember: not water to alcohol, but vice versa! After dilution, it is advisable to keep it cool for a week, then strain. Prunes are put in a container for infusion. In the original recipe, it is recommended to take 200 berries, with no pits, for 0.75 liters of diluted alcohol. In our opinion, this is a bit much, considering the other components. We would suggest limited to 4 plums to avoid excessive sweetness. But to decide, of course, the winemaker. In addition to dried fruits, vanilla is poured (2 g bag) and a spoon of lime blossom, and half a cup of honey is poured. The container is filled with alcohol and infused week. After draining the drink, you need to stand for two more days, and you can put it on the festive table.
What you can experiment with
Tincture on prunes does not require strictfollowing the recipe. Dried fruit is quite liberal for combinations. In addition to the above-mentioned supplements, people quite often introduce ginger or coriander; A very original flavor is added to the walnut partitioning tincture. An interesting solution would be the combination of prunes with different berries. Many people like the drink, which combines the sweetness and astringency of plums with cranberry sourness. Although, without a doubt, the choice of ingredients must be approached very carefully. Perfectly “sounding” separately, in a company they can drown each other, and even make the taste extremely unpleasant. Experienced winemakers are advised to start experimenting on half a liter of alcohol - in order not to get very upset if you cannot drink the final result.
The time of insisting is also better at the first experience to choose "for yourself." Recommended month, but you may not like too pronounced taste and smell of prunes.
