Plum jam five minutes

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   You only need two ingredients to make jam. These are plums and sugar. Plums are ripe, without damage. Remove the tails from the drains and rinse them well from dirt. The amount of sugar is approximate. Be guided by the sweetness of the plums themselves.

2. Step 2:

   

   Cut the plums into two parts and remove the bones from them. You can leave the plums in halves, you can cut them into slices, or cubes.

3. Step 3:

   

   Transfer the sliced plums to an enameled or glass pan. Do not use aluminum, so that the jam does not oxidize from fruit juice.

4. Step 4:

   

   Fill the plums with sugar, cover with a lid and leave at room temperature for a few hours so that the plums let the juice. Do not add all the sugar at once. At the first cooking, you will taste the jam. If it's sour, then you can pour a little more.

5. Step 5:

   

   When the plums let the juice out, put the pan on the fire and bring everything to a boil. Periodically stir the jam so that it does not burn.

7. Step 6:

   

   When the jam boils, make less heat and boil for 5 minutes. Plums boil very quickly and the jam becomes a beautiful bright color. If foam forms during cooking, it must be removed with a spoon.

8. Step 7:

   

   Sterilize the jars prepared for jam in a convenient way for you. It can be sterilized in a microwave oven or over a pot of boiling water. Pre-banks must be well washed and rinsed. Cover the lids with boiling water. Pour the boiling jam into jars and cover with lids.

9. Step 8:

   

   Turn the jam jar over and wrap it in a blanket in this form and cool it completely. Why wrap it in a blanket? Wrapped up, the jam will cool down very slowly and become thicker.

10. Step 9:

    

    Remove the cooled jars to a cool place for storage.

11. Step 10:

    

    In winter it is very tasty to open a jar of fragrant jam and remember the warm, summer days. Have a nice fruit treat!
