Frequently Asked Questions About Homemade Sugared Plum Juice
How do you make homemade sugared plum juice?

Can you make homemade sugared plum juice with unripe plums?

Do you need to remove plum pits for homemade sugared plum juice?
Yes, remove the pits before serving homemade sugared plum juice, and avoid crushing them while cooking. You can simmer the plums whole and strain them afterward, or halve them first to make pit removal easier.
Should you peel plums for homemade sugared plum juice?
No, peeling plums is not necessary for homemade sugared plum juice. The skins add color and flavor as the fruit cooks; strain the drink afterward if you want a smoother texture without bits of skin or pulp.
Why does homemade sugared plum juice taste bitter?
Homemade sugared plum juice can taste bitter if the pits are crushed or the fruit is cooked for too long. Remove pits carefully, simmer only until the plums soften, and strain the juice before sweetening it.
How should you store homemade sugared plum juice?

Can you freeze homemade sugared plum juice?
Yes, homemade sugared plum juice can be frozen. Leave room in the container for expansion, thaw it in the refrigerator, and stir before serving because the fruit solids may settle or separate.

Can homemade sugared plum juice raise blood sugar?
Yes, homemade sugared plum juice can raise blood sugar because it contains added sugar as well as sugars from the plums. If you have diabetes, ask your clinician or dietitian how it fits your meal plan.

What is Homemade Sugared Plum Juice?
Homemade Sugared Plum Juice is a fruit drink made by simmering plums with water and sugar, then straining the mixture. The plum variety shapes its colour and flavour: ripe fruit gives a rounder sweetness, while tart plums make a sharper, more tangy drink.
In Turkish home cooking, it is often served chilled in warm weather, alongside a meal or as a refreshing drink at iftar. Its fruitiness is balanced by added sugar, and most of its energy comes from carbohydrates; it provides 60 calories per 100 g. For a lighter glass, dilute it with water and use less sugar when preparing it.
