This plum liqueur tastes fruity, full-bodied, and heavenly delicious. Cinnamon and vanilla add sweet spice and a special aroma. You can make the prune plum liqueur at home with just a few ingredients. It is ideal for enjoying yourself or giving as a gift. You can find a detailed recipe with the exact quantities and step-by-step instructions below.
Choosing fruit for plum liqueur
I made the plum liqueur using prune plums. Alternatively, you can use round plums, as you would for the sour cream plum cake.
The fruit must be ripe, sweet, and fresh. Sort out any plums that are already mushy, for example, for a plum jam. Otherwise, it will be difficult to filter the liqueur at the end.
Use a good quality alcohol
I made the prune plum liqueur with vodka, just like my strawberry liqueur, sloe liqueur, and blackcurrant liqueur. White rum, which I used to make the cornelian cherry liqueur and the vegan egg liqueur, is also ideal for this.
Choose a high-proof, good-quality alcohol, as the taste of your homemade plum liqueur depends on it.
Flavor to taste
I refined the plum liqueur with cinnamon and vanilla. These spices combine perfectly with prune plums in terms of flavor.
Cardamom and cloves also go very well with it. Take a few whole cloves and cardamom seeds.
