Instructions:
-
Prepare the Plums: Begin by carefully placing 1 1/2 plums into a clean 1-quart glass container, ensuring not to crush the delicate fruit.
-
Sweeten it Up: Add 1/3 of a plum (approximately), along with the granulated sugar, into the container.
-
Add Flavor: Drop in the cinnamon stick to infuse a warm, aromatic essence into the cordial.
-
Pour in the Vodka: Fill the container to the brim with vodka, allowing the spirits to mingle with the natural sweetness of the plums.
-
Shake it Up: Seal the lid tightly and gently shake the jar or give it a little swirl on the counter to evenly distribute the alcohol and sugar.
-
Let it Sit: Set the container aside in a cool, dark place for a duration of 2 months, allowing the flavors to meld and the liquor to be infused with the essence of the plums.
-
Speed up the Process: For a quick infusion boost, during the first two weeks, place the container on a sunny windowsill. The fluctuating temperatures of the daytime sun and the cool evenings will accelerate the flavor infusion process.
-
Enjoy Responsibly: After the designated two-month period, your Plum Cordial will be ready to sip and savor. Pour over ice, mix with soda water, or add a splash to your favorite cocktails for a touch of fruity decadence.
Indulge in the rich flavors of this homemade Plum Cordial, a delightful treat that captures the essence of summer’s bounty to be enjoyed throughout the holiday season and beyond.
