My plums are ripe. taste great and I've already gathered enough to
make a half batch of wine(if i wished)

thing is, they are a pain to pit. local wineshop told me to freeze
them to help macerate(masticate? crush) sould i do this with the
pits in? is there an easy way to pit plums? I'd assume boiling them
would help, but that might draw out icky stuff from the pits

I used to pit plums on the fly to feed my draft horse. I simply
grabbed the plun, stuck my thumbs into it and pushed out the pit.
Took two seconds and my spoiled baby got the juicy bits with no
annoying pits.

and how many gallons did you do at a time? just collected 2-3 today,
expect more tommorrow



I don't know. How many gallons do you think it takes to keep a 1700#
horse happy? shrug He ate the daily crop of plums, pitted. I never
thought to count/weigh/measure them. Sorry.

BTW, are you sure you really want to do this? You sure sound unhappy
over just about every aspect of it. Perhaps it's easier just to buy what
you want.
