Fresh plums are the star of this wonderfully refreshing summer drink. You can make up a bunch of the juice, store it in the fridge, and add the ginger ale upon serving, too, to make a unique, pretty BBQ punch. Ingredients:
8 ripe plums |
4 cups water |
1-4t honey(if needed to add sweetness if plums are a lil too tart, use as desired, i didn't use any |
2 1 inch pieces candied ginger |
2 liters all natural ginger ale |
ice |
Directions:
1. Slice plums in half and remove pit(leaving the pit will make it a lil more bitter )
2. Place in a medium saucepan with the water, ginger, and honey, if using)
3. Heat to a simmer and simmer for about 10-12 minutes, mashing with a potato masher or large fork, etc, as they soften.
4. Once plums have all cooked down and juice is a deep, solid red, remove from heat and strain liquid.
5. Let cool in fridge at least 30-45 minutes.
6. To serve, fill serving glass about 1/2 full of the juice, add ice and fill with ginger ale.
