Homemade jams and preserves are incredibly quick and easy to make and the results are just fantastic. You'll never know what you've been missing out on until you try it. Today I'm here to share the recipe of a beautiful Plum Jam. This is a 100% reliable recipe that gives a perfectly sweet and tangy jam without any unnecessary additives and preservatives. And the best part? It only takes three ingredients to make this luscious Plum Jam.
I love using seasonal and local produce. It tastes the best and looks super pretty (we all secretly want good pictures). Especially plums and peaches and melons and mangoes. I may be a devoted chocoholic at heart, but I’d be just as happy with a generous slice of a Jamun Galette or a moist Mango and Coconut Cake.
And what better way to add a burst of tangy and sweet goodness with a spoonful of bright and vibrant plum jam?
If you are also a plum fan (or any other stone fruit), then you'll love this sweet and tangy Plum Jam. And let's remember it's made of 3 ingredients that are super easy to find. Chances are you already have all three at home. It comes together in no time on the stovetop and it honestly couldn’t be easier to prepare.
So, let’s get going!
What ingredients do you need?
As always, all the ingredients used are simple, common and easy to pronounce:
Plums (preferably fresh)(you can also switch it with any other fruit like apples, mangoes, or any berry of your choice)
Sugar (any form of sugar is acceptable)
Lemon juice (you'll need 1 tbsp of to balance out the sweetness and it also acts as a preservative)
Cinnamon Powder (this is completely optional, but it gives your plum jam a well-rounded flavour)
To get started, roughly chop up all the plums and transfer them into a heavy-bottomed pan. Then add to it sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon.
Then, turn on the heat to a medium-low. Gently stir it and cook for 4-5 minutes. Use a rubber spatula to stir it. Continue to cook it on low heat for a few minutes. You will see that the plums will start to cook down and will start to resemble a jam.
You will know that the jam is ready when the rubber spatula gets evenly coated with the jam. Then turn off the heat and let it cool at room temperature.
Now let it cool and then store it in an air-tight jar in your refrigerator.
Voila! Hope you enjoy this yummy Plum Jam recipe as much as I did.
Happy Baking!
