Preparing plum jam is very easy, you just need to have some time available. To turn off the Thermomix when it's finished, not to keep up with the jam! :-)
It is a jam that you can use in many ways, both on a slice of bread for breakfast or as a snack, and to fill pies, tarts and soft cakes.
This jam is a tradition in our home. In fact, in the countryside, we have several plum trees also of different qualities. The children have fun picking plums. A little, I admit quite a bit, we love to eat them fresh. Some summers, however, the trees are so loaded that making plum jam is a must!
A quick rinse under water because the trees are grown organically, and then off ... to prepare the jam!
Ingredients
- 1000 plums (weight without stone)- 700 g sugar
- 1 lemon (juice)
Let's cook
Remove the stones from the plums. In the end you need to have 1000 g of plum pulp.Put the pitted plums in the mixing bowl and blend 15 Sec. Speed 5.
Add the juice of 1 lemon, 700 g sugar and cook 50 Min. 100C Speed 2. If you prefer a thick jam set 50 Min. Varoma Temp. Speed 1.
Place the basket on top of the jug to avoid splashing the whole kitchen with jam. :-) Pour the boiling jam into sterilized jars.
Once the jars are closed, place them upside down until they have cooled.
Store the jam in a cool dark place.
Tips
For sugar, adjust as you see fit. I put a lot of sugar because my plums were particularly sour and then the sugar allows the jam to keep longer.As for the cherry jam, I sterilize the jars and their caps by placing them on the grate of the oven at 120 ° for 20 Min. Or passing them with grappa or rum with a high alcohol content. I also sterilize by boiling jars in boiling water for 30 Min. The caps, however, for 10 Min.
