Perfect Plum Jam
Simple and easy plum jam recipe using apples to help thicken it.
Equipment
- 1 Large Saucepan
- 1 Wooden spoon
- 5 200-300 gram jars
Ingredients
- 800 grams plums sliced
- 180 grams apple (1 large or 2-3 small) peeled and chopped small
- 800 grams caster sugar
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a large saucepan.
- Cook on a medium heat for 20-30 minutes, stirring often until the fruit has started to break down, become mushy and started to thicken. If using a thermometer, you're looking for around 105°c.
- Sterilise your chosen jars by submerging in boiling hot water for 5 minutes prior to filling or placing freshly washed jars into an oven at 150°c for 10 minutes. Jars can also be sterilised in a regular dishwasher cycle used without cleaning agents.
- Carefully transfer the hot jam into freshly sterilised jars. Place the lids on carefully but firmly and turn upside down to cool and seal.
- Once completely cold, store the unopened jars in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year. Opened jam can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 month.
