Cum să pregătești prunele pentru țuica de toamnă? De ce fructele trebuie adunate doar de pe jos • Newsweek România

For making autumn plum brandy, it's crucial to select ripe plums that have fallen naturally from the tree. These fruits are sweeter and more aromatic, enhancing the fermentation process. Experienced farmers prefer to wait for the plums to drop rather than picking them prematurely. After collection, the plums must be sorted carefully, discarding any damaged or rotten ones, and stored in clean containers. This meticulous preparation ensures a higher quality brandy. Starting in August, patience and proper selection of plums are key to a successful fermentation process.
