    Makes 4 cups

Ingredients

1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 1/2 pounds ripe purple plums, quartered, pitted
1/4 cup crème de cassis (black-currant liqueur) plus additional for drizzling, if desired

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Stir sugar and 1 cup water in small saucepan over medium heat until sugar completely dissolves. Boil until syrup is reduced to generous 1 cup, about 6 minutes. Chill simple syrup until cold.

Spoon mixture into freezer container; cover and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours and up to 4 days.
