Start up the process.

You are now about to do one of the key parts in the making Rakia the Bulgarian style. You will have to add water and perhaps some sugar to start the fermentation. Now it will be a good time to call you uncle in Bulgaria to get the family recipe. The recipe I got is the following. Add one kilogram sugar for each 4 liters of water, at the end of the process this will produce about 400ml of good Rakia. Use your judgment how much liquid you are going to add, but you should have all your plums covered. Put the top on the container. Now you have to wait.
