Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- 4 cups ripe plums, pitted and chopped
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Place the chopped plums, sugar, lemon juice, and water in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir to combine and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer, stirring frequently, for 30–40 minutes or until thickened and jam-like in consistency. Use a potato masher or immersion blender if you prefer a smoother texture.
- To test if it’s ready, spoon a small amount onto a cold plate—if it wrinkles when pushed, it’s done. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before transferring to sterilized jars.
- Seal and refrigerate or process in a water bath for longer storage.
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness based on the ripeness of your plums.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla for extra flavor.
