Plum jam

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 2 kg plums, washed and pitted
• 650 g sugar
• 10 g vanilla sugar
• 1 sachet of citric acid (5 g)
• 6 cl syrup (cinnamon syrup) or 1 cinnamon stick

Instructions

Working time approx. 1 hour; Rest time approx. 15 hours; Cooking/baking time approx. 3 hours 15 minutes; Total time approx. 19 hours 15 minutes

Combine the plums, sugar, and vanilla sugar in a saucepan and let stand overnight. The next day, simmer uncovered on the stove for 3 hours without stirring. Add the citric acid, increase the heat to high, and continue cooking for 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the syrup, and ladle the plum jam into jars while still hot, sealing them tightly. Instead of syrup, you can also add a cinnamon stick for the last few minutes of cooking. This yields approximately 7 jars of 230 ml each. Good luck!
