Ingredients
- 10 yellow cherry plums
- 200 g tsipouro (a Greek grape distillate)
- 150 g sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruit:
Wash the yellow cherry plums thoroughly and cut them in half, leaving the pits intact. Place them into a large, airtight glass jar. - Steep in the Sun:
Add the sugar and tsipouro to the jar. Seal it well and set it in a sunny spot for 40 days. Shake the jar often to help the sugar dissolve completely as the flavors infuse. - Strain & Adjust:
After 40 days, strain the mixture through a muslin cloth (or another fine filter) into a bowl. Taste the liqueur; if you find it needs more sweetness or a touch more tsipouro, adjust accordingly. Transfer it into sterilized glass bottles. - Finishing Touch:
If you add extra sugar, shake the bottle until fully dissolved and let it rest for another week before serving.
