How to Make Plum Rapture Cordial

  1. Wash and roughly chop 2 pounds of ripe plums.
  2. In a 2-quart canning jar, combine the chopped plums, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of vodka, 1/4 cup of dark rum, 1 cinnamon stick, 2 star anise, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves.
  3. Gently stir to combine all ingredients.
  4. Seal the jar tightly and store in a cool, dark place for 2 months, shaking gently every 2 weeks.
  5. After 2 months, strain the cordial through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth, pressing gently on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
  6. Bottle the strained cordial and store in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
  7. *Optional: For a smoother cordial, allow the strained liquid to sit for an additional day to let any remaining sediment settle before bottling.*
