Dry plum liqueur

After a series of friends' visits the level of liqueurs in the bottles decreased considerably... time to recommend the production of new ones, as fruit is fairly cheap this year. Spirits is another story, you can't call it inexpensive. Yet, if you want to think ahead of winter evenings...?














"Dry plum liqueur"

- 500 g plums with stones
- 2-3 cm cinnamon (canella) trunk
- 250 g sugar
- 1/2 litre white wine
- 1,5 litre spirits plus glass of boiled water

Squash the plums in a casserole and cover with wine. Simmer on low heat for 15 minutes. Pour into a jar, add cinnamon, close well and leave for three days. After this time strain the mix and heat the clear juice briefly to dissolve sugar. Let cool and add water and spirits, cover well and after a few days pour into bottles. Ready to drink after at least 3 months.
