Tipsy Plum Fruit Spread

Ripe plums, a splash of liqueur and a breakfast for connoisseurs

Königskind "Tipsy Plum" is the fruity, grown-up fruit spread made from 80% ripe plums and a good splash of homemade plum liqueur – handcrafted by Uwe König in his small gourmet manufactory in the Oberberg region. The crowning glory for your breakfast toast, with a light, warming liqueur note that brings out the full sweetness of the plums.

The "Tipsy Plum" fruit spread from Königskind is a fruity, grown-up spread from the Oberberg region. With 80% regional plums, sugar, homemade plum liqueur (contains alcohol), lemon juice, and natural pectin, only a few honest ingredients go into the jar – without artificial flavors, colorings, preservatives, or flavor enhancers. Uwe König "tips" the selected plums with the liqueur and then gently cooks them to preserve their full aroma and a light residual sweetness.

Darkly fruity, soft and with a warming liqueur note

Once opened, the full fragrance of ripe plums rises – sweet, dark, and slightly tart, accompanied by the warming hint of plum liqueur, which lies over the fruit aroma like a fine veil. The color is a deep, warm dark red with visible pieces of fruit; the consistency is pleasantly spreadable and contains real plum pieces, reminiscent of a homemade spread from grandma's kitchen.

On the tongue, this spread begins with the full sweetness of the plums, followed by the slight tartness of the skin and then the plum liqueur, which only warms in the background with great subtlety. The finish is long, fruity, and round, with a grown-up depth that classic jams rarely reach. Tipsy, but not drunk – the alcohol does not take center stage, but rather extends and deepens the plum aroma.

For Sunday breakfast, with crêpes and game dishes

The spread is the crowning glory for your breakfast bread. It is particularly lovely on a warm slice of brioche with a little butter underneath, on a freshly baked butter croissant, or on crusty farmhouse bread with a dollop of quark – the plum sweetness meets the rich base, making for a breakfast that gives the whole week a worthy start.

Crêpes and pancakes are its second forte: a generous spoonful on a warm crêpe, a little icing sugar on top, and your dessert is ready in 5 minutes. The spread is especially wonderful with vanilla ice cream and rice pudding – the warming liqueur note adds a sophisticated tone to the dessert. It is also a delight as a filling for sweet dumplings (Buchteln, Germknödel) or as a topping on plain yogurt with roasted almonds.

In savory cooking, it goes a step further: stir 1 tablespoon of Tipsy Plum into a sauce for game dishes – with venison loin, roast stag, or a hearty duck breast, the plum sweetness finds its place. The spread also cuts a fine figure as a glaze on a roast ham or served on a cheese platter with mature goat cheese and walnut bread. You can find other fruit spreads from the Königskind kitchen, such as the summery Blackberry-Peach, the festive Apple Strudel, and the sophisticated Red Vineyard Peach. You can find more in our Königskind collection.

Königskind Gourmet Manufactory, handmade with heart and liqueur

The Königskind gourmet manufactory is the passion project of Uwe König and his wife Sabine. What began as a hobby in their home kitchen in 2005 was expanded by the couple into a full-time business in 2014 due to the growing demand for their fruit spreads and chutneys. To this day, all Königskind products are cooked in the kitchen "unterm Ziegenbusch" in Wiehl – all by hand, in manageable quantities, and with the care that only a small family-run business can provide.

For the Tipsy Plum, Uwe König uses exclusively regional, untreated plums and his own homemade plum liqueur. He consistently avoids artificial flavors, colorings, preservatives, and flavor enhancers. This is the Königskind philosophy: few, honest ingredients that still taste of fruit and the season in which they were picked. In addition to the Tipsy Plum, we also carry Apple Strudel, Blackberry-Peach, Cherry-Grapefruit, and Red Vineyard Peach as fruit spreads from the same kitchen.
