What is the best way to make plum wine?

Assuming you would like a recipe for plum wine:

Ingredients
1 gallon of water
8 lbs of sugar
8 lbs of plums
1 packet of yeast

Directions
1. Sterilize all of your equipment- this is important in order to avoid any bacteria getting into your wine and ruining the batch.
2. Wash the plums and remove any stems or leaves.
3. Place the plums into a fermentation vessel- a food grade plastic bucket or glass carboy will work well.
4. Boil the water and dissolve the sugar into it. Once the sugar has dissolved, pour the sugar water over the plums.
5. Add the yeast to the vessel and stir everything together.
6. Cover the vessel with a clean towel or cloth and secure it with a rubber band. This will keep fruit flies and other critters out.
7. Let the mixture sit for 3-4 weeks while the yeast ferments the sugar into alcohol.
8. After 3-4 weeks, siphon the wine into another vessel, being careful to leave any sediment behind.
9. At this point, you can bottle the wine or let it age further in a carboy. If you choose to bottle it, be sure to use wine bottles and corks.
10. Enjoy your homemade plum wine!
