Plum puree from fresh plums

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 4 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make plum puree for the winter from fresh plums? First, prepare the ingredients according to the list. Plums should be ripe and fleshy. It is better to remove wormy fruits, the same applies to fruits with other signs of spoilage. It is better to choose high-quality, aromatic cocoa. Cheap imitations will ruin the taste instead of enriching it.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the plums under running water. Then remove the seeds from them by cutting each one in half or in another way.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the prepared berries in a saucepan with a thick bottom. Pour sugar into them and add lemon juice. Cook the plums over low heat for three hours, stirring occasionally.

4. STEP 4

   

   During three hours of cooking, the plum mass will boil down greatly.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add cocoa powder and stir. Keep the future puree on the fire for another 2-3 minutes, then remove the pan from the stove.

6. STEP 6

   

   Punch the resulting mixture using an immersion blender. The plum puree is ready.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the puree into clean, dry jars and seal tightly. You can store such preparations in a city apartment in a dark place, out of direct sunlight. Enjoy tasting!

Plum puree for the winter from fresh plums takes a long time to prepare, but it’s worth it. Although minimal participation in the preparation of such puree is required. In three hours, the plums really boil down a lot. From two kilograms of plums I got one half-liter jar and a little more left. I put the rest into a plastic box. Cocoa is added to the puree. This was somewhat unexpected for me, but I still put the required amount of cocoa powder in the puree. And I didn’t regret it. It turned out very unusual. Plum puree tastes like Prunes in Chocolate candies. The consistency of the puree is very thick. I think it would be great as a pie filling. Thank you very much for the recipe!
