How to Make Plum Cordial

  1. Gently wash 1 pound of ripe plums and place them in a sterilized 1-quart glass jar. Avoid crushing the plums.
  2. Add 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 cinnamon stick (approximately 3 inches long) to the jar.
  3. Slowly pour 1 cup vodka into the jar, leaving about ½ inch of headspace at the top.
  4. Securely seal the lid and gently swirl the jar to distribute the sugar and vodka evenly. Avoid shaking vigorously.
  5. Place the jar in a cool, dark place for 2 months to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. During the first two weeks, place the jar on a sunny windowsill to accelerate the infusion process. This helps to speed the infusion and enhance flavor development.
  7. After two months, strain the cordial through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth lined funnel into a clean bottle. Discard the solids.
  8. Seal the bottle and store in a cool, dark place until ready to serve. Enjoy responsibly!
