Ingredients :
1/2 lb French or Italian sugar
plums
1/2 cup Powdered sugar
1/2 cup Cognac or brandy
1 1/2 x (750 ml) bottles Rhonestyle
red wine
Method :
• A friend in France serves this wine as an aperitif in winter.
It is very warming on a cold night and carries the scent of
the summer prune plum.
• Rinse and carefully dry plums. Put in a clean glass jar and
sprinkle with 1/4 cup of the powdered sugar and the Cognac.
Cover and let the mixture stand for 5 days in a cool, dark
place, turning the jar occasionally. At the end of the 5 days,
add wine. Cover and let stand another 5 days, turning
occasionally.
• Remove fruit from the jar and crush it to extract all the
juice. Discard pits and skin. Return juice and pulp to wine
mixture and filter it into bottles. (A coffee filter or doubled
cheesecloth in a funnel works quite well.) Cork the bottles and
store in a cool dark place or in the refrigerator.
• Makes two 750-milliliter bottles.
