Ingredients:

•      2 lbs    Italian Plums / Zwetschgen
•     ½ lbs    Sugar
•   750 ml    Dry Red Wine of the less expensive kind, that means the cheaper stuff!
•            1    Cinnamon Sticks
•   125 ml    Rum

Directions:

Clean Plums, cut in half and remove stones/pits. Depending on the size of plums you might want to cut them smaller.
Combine plums, red wine, sugar and cinnamon stick in a large enough pot.
Bring to a boil, simmer for 5 minutes, remove from heat and add Rum.
Sterilize 2 Ball Jars (quart size) and lids in hot water.
Fill the jars while plums and juice are hot and seal. Plums should fit in 1 jar.
Strain the left over juice through a sieve into the other jar and seal.
Store the glass with the plums in a cool place for a week before enjoying the contents.
The left over liquid can be imbibed/sipped as a liquor or spooned over a Vanilla pudding or ice cream.

Plums can be served pure or also as topping for Pudding or Ice Cream.
