Ingredients
- 500 grams Ripe plums
- 250 grams Granulated sugar
- 750 milliliters Vodka
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash the plums thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Step 2
Using a sharp knife, slice the plums in half and remove the pits. You can leave the skins on for added flavor and color.
Step 3
Place the halved plums in a large, sterilized glass jar or container with a tight-fitting lid.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Pour the vodka over the plums and sugar until the plums are completely submerged. Stir gently to mix the ingredients.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
After 4-6 weeks, strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bottle, discarding the fruit and spices.
Step 8
Seal the bottle and let the liquor age for an additional 1-2 weeks for the best flavor, or enjoy immediately if desired.
Step 9
Serve chilled or over ice as a delightful after-dinner drink. Store the liquor in a cool, dark place for up to one year.
