Plum gin
MAKES 1 litre
PREP 20 mins plus at least one month steeping
EASY
600g ripe plums
150-200g caster sugar
1 litre gin
1 Wash the plums and remove any leaves and stalks. Pierce them all over with a fork or the tip of a sharp knife, then halve (leave the stones in). Tip into a large, sterilised, sealable jar (about 2 litres) with a wide neck – the plums should easily fit inside. Or divide between two smaller jars.
