Plum Liqueur Recipes

Steps:

• Layer half the plums into the bottom of a very large jar with a lid, pressing the plums down as tightly as possible. Pour half the sugar over the plums, then half the vodka over the sugar. Sprinkle on half the vanilla extract, and place about half the orange peel pieces into the jar. Layer the rest of the plums into the jar, pressing them down, and top them with the remaining sugar, vodka, vanilla extract, and orange peel pieces. Screw on the jar lid.
• Using an unscented candle, drip a coating of wax around the jar lid to prevent leaking. Cover the jar with a dark-colored towel. Place the jar on its side in a dark, cool place, and turn the jar every day for 21 days, replacing the towel to keep out light.
• After 21 days, strain out the liqueur from the plums and peel with a fine strainer lined with cheesecloth, and bottle the liqueur in attractive bottles with tight-fitting caps.

Steps:

• Wash and quarter the plums. Fill them in a 4-quart mason jar.
• Add 3 cups of dark rum and 4 cups of sugar.
• Turn the jar once every day for 15 days to allow the sugar to dissolve.
• Filter out the fruit bits after 16 days.
• Plum Liquor is ready.

Steps:

• Prick the plums very well and put in a jar or bottle with the sugar. Cover tightly and leave to stand for 2-3 days or until the juice runs freely.
• Pour in the gin and cover tightly. Leave in a warm place for about 2 months.
• Strain, squeezing out as much juice as possible, and pour into sterilized bottles and cork tightly.
