Congratz - you've made slivovitz (well, you're on your way to it). MrsWheelbarrow, a long-time contributor to this site, is the author of this article from The Washington Post. http://articles.washingtonpost... The recipe (link is at end of article) http://projects.washingtonpost...
@darabekah - Sorry, I realize I didn't answer your question. (I was just so excited to remember that article!) I'm not an expert but doubt very much that it's safe to eat either the liquid or the plums if they weren't done with safe canning methods. Better to be safe than sorry, so DON'T consume!
@Pegeen, so next summer there can be a new batch of Slivovitz, and the current stuff will have to be chalked up to experience. Thanks for your insight!
