Recipe Ingredients
The quantities given are sufficient for a 250 millilitres jar.
- 500 grams plums, pitted and quartered
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- juice of half lemon
- 80 grams caster sugar
Methods
1. First wash the plums, remove the pits, and cut them into quarters.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the quartered plums, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and the juice of half a lemon. Stir gently once to evenly coat the plums.
3. Cover the mixture and let it sit on the counter for about 2 hours. This step allows the plums to release some juice and infuse them with the other ingredients.
4. Then transfer the mixture to a saucepan, add the sugar, and bring it to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally. Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat to a simmer.
5. Cover the saucepan with a lid and simmer for about an hour. There is no need to constantly stir, so resist the urge.
6. After an hour, remove the lid and simmer for another 15 minutes. Now you can stir regularly and check the consistency.
7. If it is too liquid, continue cooking for another 1 to 2 minutes.
8. For a smoother jam, purée the jam using a blender until the desired consistency is reached.
9. Once the jam has reached the desired consistency, pour it into a clean, sterilized jar while it is still hot. Seal the jar tightly.
10. Allow the jar to cool to room temperature, and then store it in the refrigerator or in a cool place. The plum jam can be stored for several months.
11. Serve the homemade plum jam on toast, pastries, or as a delicious topping for desserts.
Enjoy!
