Highly energizing, plum jam is the perfect healthy and nutritious way to start your day. This simple preserve can be made at home, even with a Thermomix , and can be customized to your tastes by adding ginger, cinnamon , and star anise. For an even richer jam, add apples.

Let's see the plum jam recipe together :

Ingredients

  • 1 kg of plums
  • 500 grams of sugar
  • 1 lemon

Preparation

Wash the plums, cut them in half, and remove the stones. Place the plums, lemon juice, and sugar in a large saucepan. Cook for about 2 hours over medium heat until the jam reaches the desired consistency.

The recipe with the Thermomix

Making plum jam with the Thermomix is ​​really simple; the only thing to be careful of is not using too many plums, as the food processor has a limited capacity.

Ingredients

  • 500 g of plums
  • 250 grams of sugar
  • Half a lemon

Preparation

  • Wash the plums, remove the stones, and place all the ingredients in the Thermomix. Process at 100°C, speed 4.
  • If you want to keep the plums in chunks, add them counterclockwise, otherwise normal.
  • Cook uncovered for about 3 hours or until the consistency is close to your desired consistency.

The sugar-free recipe

Plum jam is also excellent without sugar but, in this case, it cannot be stored for long and must be consumed within about 3 weeks.

Ingredients

  • 500 g of plums
  • 1 carrot
  • 1 ripe apple
  • The juice of a lemon

Preparation

  • Wash the plums, cut them in half, and remove the stones. Wash the apple and peel it, keeping the skin intact.
  • Peel the carrot.
  • Boil the apple peel and core in 200 ml of water for about 10 minutes: this will produce the pectin needed for preservation.
  • Place the apple peel juice together with the other ingredients in a saucepan and cook for a couple of hours.

Plum and apple jam

Ripe apples give any compote, preserve, or jam a thicker, fuller consistency. Combined with plums, they'll lend the recipe a delicate smoothness.

  • 500 g of plums
  • 3 ripe apples
  • 300 grams of sugar
  • 1 lemon

Preparation

  • Wash the plums and apples, remove the stone, peel and core.
  • Boil in a pan for a couple of hours with the lemon juice.

Plum jam with spices

Customizing the various homemade plum jam recipes with spices allows you to make the flavor more intense and unique. For grated ginger , a teaspoon is enough for 1 kg of fruit , as are cinnamon and star anise. For those who prefer a more pronounced flavor, we recommend poppy seeds or cloves.
