Plum Preserves Recipe / Plum Jam Recipe - No Pectin / No Preservative


I have mentioned this before itself, that i love love love making homemade jams and preserves..So far i have made orange jam, apple jam, tomato jam and pineapple jam..I have made amla preserves and amla in honey too.



Making jams at home is kind of therapeutic and makes you feel happy. Because you know that the jam you are going to use has real stuff in it, not just sugar and fruit essence..This is my version of making plums jam, it is chunky and delicious, because as you bite into you get chunks of plums in your mouth..


I love to have it as it is..It has a little tartness in it along with sweet taste too..So hope you try this out and let me know how it turns out..


Preparation Time : 15 mins
Cooking Time : 30 mins
Makes : 3 cups of jam

Ingredients:

Ripe Red Plums - 1/2 kg / 3 cups of chopped plums
Sugar - 1.5 cups
Lemon Juice - 1 tblspn

Method:

Wash plums well in water. Dry them using a paper towel. Slice them around to get rid off the seeds.

Now measure the plums and add it to a sauce pan. 

Add in sugar and mix well. Now put this on heat and mix well till the sugar is melted.

Bring this to a boil and boil it for 5 mins.

Put a plate in the freezer.

Now simmer the pan and cook it for 10 mins. Add in lemon juice and mix well. 

Now increase the heat and let it come to a good boil. if you see the plums will boil like crazy and be frothy and have changed much darker in colour.

Now take the plate out and drop a spoonful of juice in it. It will get thick and be like jam consistency. If it is still watery you can put it back on stove and cook for few more mins. 

At this point you can turn off the heat and let the preserve cool completely.

Now put this in canning jar or regular sterlized jar and put in fridge.

Notes:

1)You can puree plums if you want too and make this preserve.
2)You can make this with other fruits like strawberry or any berries..
