yesterday i started my grappa infusion. i bought a pound of not-exactly-plums-not-quite-prunes yesterday and cut them in half and shoved them into my silver medal award winning grappa that was super cheap at bevmo.

so i'm hoping for a simple plum-infused grappa. i figure even though it should realistically take about a week to infuse, i'm thinking of leaving the plums indefinitely so that the infusion gets stronger the older the grappa gets. the grappa is also ice cold so the infusion process will be a little retarded at first and get better as time goes on.

When I made rhubarb infused vodka, it tok about a month. You may want to taste after a week and leave for longer?

i was thinking of tasting it after 2 weeks, but because i want the infusion to be really powerful (grappa isn't exactly the best tasting liquor around), and because grappa is about the same proof as vodka, i'm going to end up leaving the plums in for a very long time.

Right, sorry, I misread what you wrote. I thought you said you were finishing it in a week. That's what I get for skimming! :)
