Slivyanka

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare the ingredients. It is better to cook slivyanka in the ripening season of plums, when the fruits are well ripe, sweet, the bones will be well separated from the pulp. The plum variety can be used any according to the availability and taste, but it is still better to have sweeter plums for this drink.

2. Step 2:

   

   Fruits are well washed under running water, cut into two halves, remove the bones. However, it is better not to use overripe fruits, otherwise their pulp will begin to spread in the liquid.

3. Step 3:

   

   Cut the plums into small cubes. But it is also better not to mash the pulp too much, so that the pieces are whole and the drink does not become cloudy.

4. Step 4:

   

   Put the chopped plums in a jar. Pour vodka so that it covers the drain completely, even if there is a little liquid reserve.

6. Step 5:

   

   We close the jar with a plastic lid and put it in a dark cool place for one month. You can put it in the basement or a dark closet.

7. Step 6:

   

   After a month, we take out the jar with the tincture. We drain the liquid into a bottle, put it in the refrigerator. And we cover the plum with sugar. Cover the jar with a lid and put it back in a dark, cool place for a week. During this time, syrup is formed in the jar.

8. Step 7:

   

   We drain it into another container. The plum for the tincture will no longer be needed, but there is no need to rush to throw it away. It is perfect for making alcohol-based sauces for meat, or it can be used for baking and desserts.

9. Step 8:

   

   Drain the liquid drained from the drain for the first time in one container and the plum syrup for the second time, mix and pour into the container. We put it back in a dark, cool place for another month. Sediment forms at the bottom of the bottles. Filter the drink through gauze, folded in several layers. We bottle it again. A fragrant, strong drink with pleasant notes of plum is ready. We serve the slivyanka to the table.
