Steps:
- Make sure the plum halves are clean and dry, then put them in a large sterilised glass jar. Add the sugar, brandy, cinnamon stick and star anise. Seal and gently rotate the jar to help dissolve the sugar.
- Continue to gently shake or rotate the jar (trying not to bash the fruit too much) every day for a week.
- Once the sugar has dissolved, leave it in a cool dark cupboard for another 2 weeks to infuse.
- Strain the mixture through a sieve lined with muslin, kitchen paper or coffee filter paper. Discard the plums, any fruit pulp and the spices, and pour the strained brandy into a bottle. Will keep for two months.

Steps:
- Rinse the plums (do not scrub away the white bloom) and cut out the pits.
- Place in a large crock or one or more large jars.
- Pour in as much of the sugar as the container can hold.
- Cover loosely (I believe the traditional cover is several layers of cheesecloth but I've done fine with a regular lid that is left unscrewed) and let it ferment at room temperature for six weeks.
- As the mixture liquefies keep adding sugar until it is used up.
- Strain the liquid (reserving the pulp) and mix it with the whiskey and bottle it up.
- My mother always uses a cheap whiskey and allowed the mixture to age in the bottle for many months.
- However, using a good whiskey makes it drinkable right away--especially important for the first batch.
- It keeps indefinitely--if you make enough.

BRANDIED PLUMS
These plums can be eaten right out of the jar, or used to make all sorts of wonderful desserts. The syrup is heaven, a gorgeous red-purple and is lovely to drink as a syrup or to mix with something for a cocktail--it is particularly delicious with champagne.

SLIVOVITZ- PLUM BRANDY RECIPE - (3.3/5)
Provided by Jody
Number Of Ingredients 5
Steps:
- Directions Use a sharp paring knife to pierce the fruit through to the pit, cutting each plum 3 or 4 times and examining each one to make sure it's perfect. (Bruised fruit ferments too quickly.) Pack the fruit into 2 quart jar(s) and add the sugar, cinnamon stick and lemon peel. Pour in enough vodka or grain alcohol to cover the plums, and cap the jar securely. Every day for 2 weeks, invert the jar. It's a good idea to place the jar in a bowl, to contain any leakage, then pour the contents of the bowl back into the jar. At the end of 2 weeks, the sugar will have dissolved. Place the jar in a closet or other dark space for 90 days. Strain the finished slivovitz through a coffee filter and transfer it to a storage container or gift bottles.
HOMEMADE BRANDY
I clipped this from the local newspaper and posted it for safekeeping. Looks easy and good for those cold winter nights or maybe a nice addition to a cake(?) There are no exact measurements so I guessed. The instructions listed are exactly as it was printed. You will need a one gallon jar with a lid. Servings and cook time are only listed because they have to.
