Plum Brandy Part 2

After a couple of days on the counter, the plum brandy builds up a lot of pressure. The lids of the mason jars are bulging. I guess one of the jars wasn't closed exactly right, and that one began dented and started leaking all over the counter when we turned it upside down this morning. When I opened it, it exploded,  foaming and bubbling all over the place like a can of pop that's been shaken. Because it was so full, in order to close it up again -- with a brand new lid -- I had to remove three big, bloated plums. I tried to put a bit of the liquid caught in the cereal below back into the jar, but the jar is just too full. Not really sure what's going to happen with this jar so we'll just have to see.
