Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ripe plums
- 250 grams Granulated sugar
- 750 milliliters Vodka
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick (optional)
Instructions
Wash the plums thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Using a sharp knife, slice the plums in half and remove the pits. You can leave the skins on for added flavor and color.
Place the halved plums in a large, sterilized glass jar or container with a tight-fitting lid.
Pour the granulated sugar over the plums, ensuring an even coating. If you're adding a cinnamon stick for extra flavor, place it into the jar at this stage.
Pour the vodka over the plums and sugar until the plums are completely submerged. Stir gently to mix the ingredients.
Seal the jar tightly and place it in a cool, dark place. Let the mixture steep for 4-6 weeks, shaking the jar gently every few days to help dissolve the sugar and mix the flavors.
After 4-6 weeks, strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bottle, discarding the fruit and spices.
Seal the bottle and let the liquor age for an additional 1-2 weeks for the best flavor, or enjoy immediately if desired.
Serve chilled or over ice as a delightful after-dinner drink. Store the liquor in a cool, dark place for up to one year.
