How to make it
5 steps. Take it one step at a time.
Wash, pit, and halve the plums
Wash, pit, and halve the plums. Peel the ginger root and grate it finely.
Combine the plums, grated ginger, water, and sugar
In a large pot, combine the plums, grated ginger, water, and sugar.
Bring the mixture
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes until the plums are very soft.
20 minRemove from heat
Remove from heat. Use an immersion blender to blend the mixture until smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean pitcher.
Stir in the lemon juice
Stir in the lemon juice. Allow the juice to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

A little kitchen wisdom
You can adjust the sugar amount based on the sweetness of your plums. For a clearer juice, use a cheesecloth for straining instead of a sieve.
