Plum Spread / Plum Jam

Elements 1 kg plums 300 g sugar some cinnamon 1 Tbsp.

Plum Spread / Plum Jam
Ingredients
  • 1 kg plums
  • 300 g sugar
  • some cinnamon
  • 1 Tbsp. Water
  • 1 Tbsp. Vinegar (i.e. Apple Cider Vinegar)
Method
  1. Wash the plums and cut them in halves.
  2. Remove the stones.
  3. Put the plums into a casserole and add the 300g of sugar. If your plums are very ripe, you can reduce the amount of sugar!
  4. Add 1 Tbsp. of Water and 1 Tbsp. of Vinegar and stir.
  5. Optional: Add some cinnamon.
  6. Mix plums and sugar well, then cover and let sit overnight.
  7. The next day, preheat the oven to 300°F/150°C.
  8. Stir the plums one more time, then put the casserole into the oven for 4 hours (yes, you read this right).
  9. After four hours remove the casserole from the oven and use the immersion blender to blend the plums to a nice spread.
  10. Clean and boil a glass jar or two and fill the spread into the glass, all the way up to the rim.
  11. Cut some cerane to the size of the lid and dip it into vinegar, then put it on top of the spread and close the lid.
  12. This spread will last for a long time - unless you eat it. Keep it at a dark, cool place. It will develop even more taste after a couple of days.
