Just Plums - Plum Jam

JUST PLUMS - PLUM JAM

This recipe requires only two categories of ingredients:

1) Plums
2) Spices/Flavourings

Take fresh or frozen pitted Italian Prune Plums and add them to a pot on a low heat.
Add spices.
Simmer for several hours, stirring when  you think of it.

When the simmering plums have become thick and jam-like, remove from heat.
If you want to add vanilla or lemon juice, now is a good time.

I make this in small-ish batches (using 4-6 cups of frozen plums), so I simply refrigerate the jam for immediate use.


Good spice/flavouring combinations:
1) cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice
2) cinnamon, cardamom, vanilla (this was especially tasty!)
3) ginger, allspice, vanilla
