Making Rakija

Beginning of November… it’s time to make Rakija!

Since September, we’ve been collecting a lot of fruits (plums and drenjula), cleaning them and putting them in a barrel so they can ferment… Then we’ve had to wait few weeks before being able to distill them. We were quite impatient to see that!

And it’s now happening! Almost every night people from the village are distilling their fruits to make rakija for the year. This is a very nice period of the year because we can go to meet them and to see how they use the “happy machine” 😀
