Preserving workshop September 2017

Makes 6 jars (350-370 ml each). Pit the plums, sprinkle with sugar, and let steep for 2-3 hours. Bring the plums to a boil with the water and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the Amaretto and lemon juice and bring back to a boil. While still hot, fill the prepared jars with the plums. Use either preserving jars with rubber stoppers or jars with twist-off lids. Due to their sugar content (the liqueur adds further sweetness), these plums will keep for at least a year without boiling in a water bath. Amaretto plums are delicious with ice cream, pudding, panna cotta, or simply on their own.
