This is a simple recipe I thought up when I was in desperate need of something to bring to a pot-luck. It is great straight-away, but is even better after twenty-four hours in the ice box.
Software: 4 ripe plums; 1 Lemon; Sugar in the Raw; Krupnik see:http://www.globalgourmet.com/destinations/poland/krupnik.html
Hardware: sharp knife non-reactive bowl
Procedure: 1. Wash the plums and slice into half-inch wedges, and then slice each wedge in half again 2. Place in bowl and sprinkle with a tablespoon of sugar; mix. 3. Squeeze juice from half of a lemon into bowl, followed by enough Krupnik to both thoroughly wet the plums and leave enough that the plums sit in the liquor. Serve as is, over ice cream, or with an absorbent cake such as angel food. Best served slightly chilled.
Follow-up: Enjoy the adulation of your friends.
