Ingredients
- Plums
Instructions
- Wash the plums thoroughly.
- Start by removing the pit from the plums.
- Cut the plums into halves or quarters. Don't worry about uniformity, as they'll break down during cooking.
- Place the cut plums in a large pot.
- Heat the pot over medium heat.
- Stir occasionally as the plums begin to release their juices and rise to the surface.
- Once the plums are bubbling, reduce the heat to low.
- Continue cooking, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- Cook until the volume has reduced by half and the mixture has a thick, paste-like consistency.
- Remove from heat and let the jam cool while you prepare the jars.
- Wash the jars and lids thoroughly with warm, soapy water.
- Rinse the jars and lids well to remove all soap residue.
- Place the clean jars and lids on a metal tray.
- Put the tray in the oven and set the temperature to 150°C (300°F).
- Leave the jars in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until completely dry.
- Carefully remove the hot jars from the oven using oven mitts.
- Place each jar on a heat-resistant surface (the back of a knife works in a pinch).
- Fill each jar with the warm jam, leaving a small space at the top.
- Securely put the lids on the jars.
- Wrap the filled jar tea towels and allow the jars to cool slowly at room temperature overnight.
- Once cooled, store the jars in your pantry.
