Time 1h

Yield 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 pounds large purple plums (about 12)
1-inch-long piece of cinnamon stick
2 cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups brandy

Steps:

  • Boil a stockpot of water as deep as the shoulder of a 2-quart jar with hinged lid.
  • Wash and stem plums. Prick several holes around stem ends. Pack plums in jar. Quarter and pit plums that don't fit in jar and re-pack, placing quartered pieces in gaps that form between whole plums. Add cinnamon stick.
  • In a 2-quart saucepan or skillet, bring sugar, salt and 1 cup water to a boil, then turn to low and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let cool for 10 minutes, stir in brandy. Immediately pour the liquid into jar up to 1/2-inch from the rim.
  • Partly close jar, to leave gap for steam to escape, and place in pot of boiling water for 10 minutes. Carefully remove jar with jar lifter or 2 tongs and close the lid tightly. Cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
