Ingredients
- 20 cherry plums
- 350 g tsipouro (a Greek grape distillate)
- 200 g sugar
- 5 whole cloves
Instructions
- Prep the Fruit:
Wash the cherry plums thoroughly and cut them in half without discarding the pits. Place them into a large, airtight glass jar. - Infuse the Flavors:
Add the cloves, sugar, and tsipouro to the jar. Seal it tightly and set it in a sunny spot for about 40 days. Shake the jar often to help the sugar dissolve and the flavors meld together. - Strain & Adjust:
After 40 days, strain the mixture through a muslin cloth (or a fine filter) into a bowl. Give it a taste. If you find it needs a bit more sweetness or a touch more tsipouro, add it now. Then, transfer the liqueur into sterilized glass bottles. - Rest & Enjoy:
If you add more sugar, shake the bottle to dissolve it completely, and let the liqueur rest for another week before serving.
