beautiful culinary gift, goes well with cheese, but also with dark meat

Wash and pit the yellow plums, then dice them. Peel and finely dice the onions and garlic cloves. Zest the limes and then squeeze the juice. Combine all ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer. This can take up to 3 hours. Stir regularly, stirring frequently at the end. There’s a risk of burning. While still hot, pour into jars and seal immediately. Let cool upright with the lid on. The plum stones can be used to make a liqueur, following Herta’s recipe.
