My first attempt at distilling

[Dazza]

So here is my first attempt

2 x 2.95kg canned peaches in syrup preservative free
2 x 850g canned plums in syrup preservative free
500g raisins
2.5kg white sugar
And topped off with spring water to make 25L and mashed with a stick blender. I strained the mash through a pillowcase although a few rasins accidentally got into the boiler when the pillowcase slipped.

I had no way of measuring the weight due to couriers being delayed with packages and my hydrometer still on the way. I discarded the first 140ml and did the flame test to be sure it was burning pure blue.
