Plum Jam with 2 ingredients
The easiest plum jam recipe with only two ingredients
Ingredients
- 500 gms plums
- 2 cups sugar
Instructions
- Cut the plums and discard the seeds
- Chop them into halves or smaller pieces if you like
- Take a heavy-bottomed saucepan and add the plums to it
- Add sugar and turn on the heat.
- Give it a stir and let the sugar melt. Keep it covered while the sugar is melting.
- Once the sugar melts, uncover and give it a stir.
- The plums will release a lot of water/ juice and it will cook in its own juice.
- You can now keep the temperature high and let it boil. Every now and then, give it a stir.
- Once the plums have softened, they will dissolve and thicken. The skin remains, which is fine and it helps in spreading the jam well. Gives it a nice texture.
- When it has become syrupy, take a spoon and pick some jam and pour on a cold plate.
- Pop the plate in the refrigerator for 2 minutes. Take it out and run your finger in the center to see if there is a clear line and it feels like jelly. That is your indication that the jam is ready.
- Take it off the heat and let it cool down. As it cools down, it thickens further. Once cooled, store in glass containers.
