Hello Everyone
This is my first post. My time is limited so unfortunately I won't be able to keep up with every post, interesting though they seem, as this appears to be a very active group. Here's a recipe for the Xmas gift thread.
HOMEMADE LIQUEUR
1 kilo plums or fresh prunes (these are in season right now)
1 kilo sugar
1 litre neutral flavour white alcoholic drink like grappa, vodka, eau de vie (here in Greece I use tsipuro or tsikudhia, distilled from grape skins and stems, this is fairly cheap if bought in bulk)
Wash plums, dry, place in a very large widemouthed glass jar (those Italian ones with a rubber seal and metal clip are best) layering with the sugar. Pour in the tsipuro. Keep in a dark place, shaking gently occasionally until the sugar has dissolved, then leave undisturbed for about one month. Strain liquid (it should have become pink) into bottles. The plums can also be placed in small jars topped with just enough liqueur to cover; they can be eaten as a dessert with custard or whipped cream, or used to garnish ice cream.
I make lots of different liqueurs as gifts, please let me know if you want more recipes.
Hope you like this
Sunny
