Slim Pickings (& Plum Liqueur Recipe)

I think my biggest achievements today were:

1. Getting dressed and 2. Keeping the fire going

I managed to also feed Jeff something that wasn’t leftovers! Yay me!

There was a wee bit of colour in the clouds this evening, so I am hoping for a nice day tomorrow. The chickens are probably wishing the same thing.

So… because I am completely boring, tonight I am just going to share that scrummy plum liqueur recipe with you in case you need to make some! 🙂

HOMEMADE PLUM LIQUEUR

This is the link to the recipe I use if you want to watch the video, but below are the quick instructions:

2lb Plums – remove stones

500ml of Alcohol for Fruits or Vodka

500gm Sugar

100ml Brandy or dark rum

Cut plums, remove stones and put in ‘sealable’ jar. Pour in sugar, Vodka and rum. Seal jar

Store in dark place for 2 months and agitate on occasions. (I left mine a lot longer due to procrastination)

Sieve juice into bowl, further filter if you like to get a really clear liqueur.

Pour into bottles

Enjoy! (As I am doing this very moment!!)

Very easy, would make very fancy Christmas presents!!

Cheers!
