Plum Brandy Recipe

British plum season falls between August to early October, so if you’re looking for new ways to use up your bounty (besides classic crumbles, cakes and jams), here is our recipe for homemade plum brandy. 

Each batch can be kept for up to six months (perfect for sipping fireside when the darker nights draw in), or as a thoughtful homemade Christmas gift. 

It’s delicious served as is or over ice to appreciate the jammy stone fruit flavour, or mixed into your favourite brandy-based cocktail, like this fragrant and warming Earl’s tipple. 

Inspired to try your hand at making more homemade spirits? We can’t get enough of this citrussy spiced vodka, especially for pepping up a cosmopolitan or dry martini.
