It seems more color in the wine, the plummier it is. Caveat that I'm not an expert on plum wine. I just like it. It's possible that anything fruity tasting is more successful and that I'd be as well off using any decent wine and a couple of chopped plums. --LAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8340684.post-91977473185843541962013-04-01T22:37:30.451-04:002013-04-01T22:37:30.451-04:00Yeah, that's pretty much my basic recipe excep...Yeah, that's pretty much my basic recipe except the plum wine.

No Muslim here has ever had a problem here with the fact that it is a majority Christian country and on Christian holidays people will say have a Merry Christmas or Happy Easter. In the US, however, the 75% Christian population is supposed to recognize the 2% Jewish population as having the same weight as the majority and the country as being Judeo-Christian and therefore suppress all public recognition of Christian holidays? When I lived in a majority Muslim country (Kyrgyzstan) I did not have a problem with people wishing me a Happy Eid. I still do not. It seems only in the US that people that this is a problem. J.
