Plum Liqueur
2 lbs. plums
2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups vodka
0.5 cup brandy
Wash plums and pat dry. Cut plums in half or smaller; pit. Place plums in aging container. Pour sugar over plums, stir. Add vodka and brandy stirring to partly disolve sugar. Cap container and place in a cool, dark place for 2 months, stir occasionally.
Place a strainer over large bowl and strain liqueur. Press liquid from plums with the back of a wooden spoon. Discard plum pulp. Re-strain liqueur through cloth until clear. Bottle as desired. Ready for drinking or cooking but best if aged another month.
I made mine 5 months ago and have yet to strain it. I figure it proly gets better the longer you let it sit and ferment.
Here's mine
and here's a high contrast closeup.
The hardest part is waiting the two months. Luckily I was deployed while it was fermenting.
