Tipsy Plum Fruit Spread

Ripe Plums, a Shot of Liqueur, and a Breakfast for Connoisseurs

Königskind Tipsy Plum is the fruity-adult fruit spread made from 80% ripe plums and a good shot of homemade plum liqueur – handcrafted by Uwe König in his small gourmet manufactory in Oberberg. The crowning glory for your breakfast bread, with a light, warming liqueur note that coaxes out all the sweetness from the plums.

The Tipsy Plum fruit spread from Königskind is a fruity, adult-friendly 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, colors, preservatives, or flavor enhancers. Uwe König "tipsies" the selected plums with the liqueur and then gently cooks them down to preserve the full aroma and a subtle residual sweetness.

Dark-fruity, soft, and with a warming liqueur note

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

On the tongue, this spread begins with the full sweetness of plum, then comes the slight tartness of the skin, followed by the plum liqueur, which provides only a very subtle warmth in the background. The finish is long, fruity, and round, with an adult depth that classic jams rarely achieve. Tipsy, but not drunk – the alcohol does not overpower, but rather extends and deepens the plum aroma.

Try it for Sunday breakfast, with crêpes, and with game dishes

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

We also like it with crêpes and pancakes: a generous spoonful on a warm crêpe, a little powdered sugar on top, and you have a dessert in 5 minutes. The spread is particularly good with vanilla ice cream and rice pudding – the warming liqueur note adds an adult touch to the dessert. It's also a delight as a filling for Buchteln (sweet yeast dumplings), Germknödel (steamed yeast dumplings), or as a topping on plain yogurt with toasted almonds.

Our tip for savory combinations: stir 1 tablespoon of tipsy plum into a sauce for game dishes – the plum sweetness finds its place with venison loin, roast venison, or a hearty duck breast. The spread also makes a good impression as a glaze on a roasted ham or with a cheese platter featuring aged goat cheese and walnut bread. You can find more fruit spreads from the Königskind kitchen, such as the summery blackberry-peach, the Christmassy apple strudel, and the elegant red vineyard peach. More can be found in our Königskind collection.

Königskind Genussmanufaktur, handmade with heart and liqueur

The Königskind Genussmanufaktur (Gourmet Manufactory) is the passion project of Uwe König and his wife Sabine. What began as a hobby in their home kitchen in 2005 developed 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 under the "Ziegenbusch" (goat bush) in Wiehl – everything by hand, in manageable quantities, with the care that only a small family manufactory can provide.

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