Cooking time: 5 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make plum jam in five minutes? Prepare the necessary ingredients. There are only two of them. Choose plums that are ripe and without damage. Remove the tails from the plums and rinse them well in running water to remove any dirt. The amount of sugar is approximate. Be guided by the sweetness of the plums themselves. You will learn all the subtleties of winter preparations by reading the article at the link below the steps.

2. STEP 2

   

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

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the chopped plums in an enamel or glass pan. Do not use aluminum to prevent the jam from oxidizing from the fruit juice. How to choose a pan, read a separate article at the end of this recipe.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour sugar over the plums, cover with a lid and leave at room temperature for several hours to allow the plums to release their juice. Do not add all the sugar at once, add 2/3 of the total volume first. When you cook for the first time, you will taste the jam. If it is a little sour, you can add a little more.

5. STEP 5

   

   When the plums release their juice, place the pan on the fire and bring everything to a boil. Stir the jam periodically to prevent it from burning.

6. STEP 6

   

   When the jam boils, reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. The plums boil very quickly and the jam becomes a beautiful bright color. If foam forms during cooking, remove it with a spoon.

7. STEP 7

   

   Wash the jars prepared for jam with soda and sterilize in a way convenient for you. You can sterilize in the microwave or over a pan of boiling water. Pour boiling water over the lids. The article at the end of this recipe will help you choose a sterilization method. Pour the boiling jam into jars and close the lids.

8. STEP 8

   

   Turn the jar of jam upside down and wrap it in a blanket. Let the jam cool completely. Why wrap it in a blanket? When wrapped, the jam will cool very slowly and become thicker.

9. STEP 9

   

   Store cooled jars of pitted plum jam in a cool place.

10. STEP 10

    

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

I love such simple jam recipes) Especially when time is short and you need to save the harvest. There are quite a lot of plums this year, I’ve already made jam. But I cooked it from unripe plums in halves. And now they are ripe and I decided to try this option. I really liked the result, even more than half-and-half jam. The color of the jam is rich and beautiful. The taste is amazing, the aroma of plum jam is stunning) I really liked the consistency of the fruit, they didn’t boil into jam, but they weren’t hard either. The skin looks like candied fruit. I recommend this recipe for sliced ​​plum jam to everyone!
