Plum Liqueur!

DSC_8059
Been sitting in the pantry since summer!

Hello!

Well, that’s Sunday been and done for us! The rain has started in earnest now – the wind is blowing it in from both sides and there is only a small space on the veranda (happily by the back door) that isn’t soggy.

I eventually stirred myself and got into a few kitchen projects.

First up, I figured 6 months or however long it was, was enough time for my plum liqueur to be ready, so after finally having remembered to pick up some material (muslin) I got to and strained the pulp

The smell that wafted up from this was a bit good! 😀

Three and a half bottles – well slightly less now as I just had a small tipple. 😀

Spelling and grammar may take a nose dive from this point!

There is something quite nice about sipping a liqueur in front of a fire in winter!

My brother in law has suggested using the pulp in a baked cheesecake! I am a bit tempted I can tell you!! I need to find something to do with it – too good to give to the chickens, not to mention might make them a bit wobbly! 😀

I also baked a cake (recipe here if you are keen)(Scroll to bottom of that post)

This has now been iced and taste tested. Nice to have some comfort food on a rainy day

Oh yes, also popped in a loaf of bread to bake

Warm crusty loaf!

I’ll add the plum liqueur recipe soon in case some of you are interested in trying it. Its not hard – just a little expensive when it comes to adding in the vodka!

I would like to try something similar with my strawberries next season to see what happens!!

Off to bed early tonight to read and listen to the rain!

Enjoy what’s left of your weekend!

Cheers!

  1. Yum on the plum liquor! When folks juice they have leftover pulp and it can be used in muffins….perhaps your pulp could too. Not sure about the ratio but it seems to me it would be tasty say in chocolate brownies, ooh how about pancakes?

    1. Several good ideas right there!! 🙂 About to have a small glass of the liqueur now – I am sure I will sleep like a baby afterwards! 🙂
