Pitted yellow plum jam

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make seedless yellow plum jam for the winter? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Choose ripe plums, without any spoiled or rotten areas.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse the plums thoroughly in cold running water and dry them by placing them on a baking sheet lined with a thick paper or regular towel.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the washed plums in a large saucepan with a thick bottom (so that the jam does not burn). I used a wok and it works great too. Pour some water at room temperature into the drain. Place the pan over low heat and heat the plums for 5-7 minutes until they burst. Remove the pan from the heat and drain the water.

4. STEP 4

   

   Now you can easily remove the seeds from the fruit. You can use another method convenient for you to remove pits from plums.

5. STEP 5

   

   Return the pan with pitted plums to the stove and pour sugar into it. Turn on moderate heat and, stirring constantly with a spatula or large spoon, wait until the sugar is completely dissolved.

6. STEP 6

   

   Once the sugar has dissolved, add ground cinnamon to the plums and mix well. Cinnamon will give the finished jam a piquant taste and an appetizing aroma. Cook the jam for 50 minutes, stirring occasionally.

7. STEP 7

   

   While the jam is cooking, prepare the jars and lids for sealing. Wash them with soda and sterilize them in a way convenient for you.

8. STEP 8

   

   After 50 minutes, check the jam for readiness. Drop a little jam onto the plate - if the drop does not spread, then the jam is ready. If the drop does not hold its shape, then cook the jam for some more time.

9. STEP 9

   

   Pour the prepared hot yellow plum jam into sterilized glass jars and immediately roll up the lids tightly. Place the jars upside down on a horizontal surface and cover with a warm towel. Leave the jars of jam to cool completely, then place them in a cool, dark place to store for up to a year. Happy making!

The pitted yellow plum jam for the winter turned out to be quite thick and a very beautiful amber color. It tastes sweet, with a slight cocoa aftertaste. Honestly, if someone gave me this jam to try, I would not have guessed that it was made from plums. It has such an interesting taste, perhaps thanks to the addition of cinnamon. From the suggested amount of ingredients, I got enough jam for one 800-gram jar and still had a little left. I put the leftovers in the refrigerator. In the refrigerator, the jam froze so much that it became similar in consistency to a cockerel on a stick. I'm happy with the result, it turned out to be a very tasty jam. Thanks for the recipe!
