Plum Juice

Instructions

Prepare the Plums:

1. Wash the plums and place them whole in a pot.

1. Add water and cook until the plums burst and become very soft (about 1 hour).

Cool and Blend:

1. Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool for about 30 minutes.

1. Transfer the plums to a sieve and use a ladle or your hands to mash and strain them to get the plum puree.

Finish Cooking:

1. Return the plum juice and puree to the pot, add the sugar, and cook for an additional 15 minutes.

Chill:

1. Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool. Once slightly warm, refrigerate until cold.
