    Vanilla Plum Moscato {Beard and Bonnet} #glutenfree #vegan

    I am all about the homemade fruit syrups this summer! Maybe you hadn't noticed, but I am pretty sure I have openly swooned about this new obsession here and here. My kids are enjoying all of the homemade sodas I have been whipping up and Todd and I have been indulging in some pretty decadent cocktails with them too. I am also admittedly addicted to the aroma of fresh fruit bubbling away on the stove; it is intoxicating!

    Vanilla Plum Moscato {Beard and Bonnet} #glutenfree #vegan

    I originally intended to make fruity soda's with this syrup too, but there was this bottle of Moscato peering at me from the fridge shelf and I totally succumbed to the pressure.  The cocktail is so tasty in fact that my friend Cara actually said it was almost too easy to sip down which can make it dangerous. Consider yourself warned, put away your keys and just enjoy the last days of summer while you sip on a glass of vanilla plum moscato.

    Instructions

    1. Combine the plums, sugar, and water in a heavy bottomed sauce pan. Crush the fruit with a potato masher then add the vanilla bean to the pot.

     If you prefer to make a soda with this syrup simply place 2-3 ounces of syrup in a glass filled with ice and top with cold club soda. Stir to combine and enjoy!

      I think Moscato is a lower alcohol wine, which is a good thing if you're going to be tempted to drink a lot. Given how addictive Moscato flavor is on its own, I can see how this syrup would make it even more so.
