Now i know we all know how to make jam, but this year my plum tree bore fruit for the first time, five kilos in total. So there will be a bit of a jammy theme to the next posts.
So, for homemade plum homemade plum jam you will need:
3kg plums from your own tree (or just from the shop is also ok) 2kg sugar 3 lemons quartered Some water
My plums were small and sweet but this means a lot of work to get the stones out. Fortunately I’m far too lazy for this so I put them in a big pan with a little water and stewed them down with the stones – this is also good to get the pectin from the stones that helps set the jam. After about 2 hours stewing, I let the mixture cool until I could get my hands in and fish out the stones.
