Plum Butter

Once opened, plum butter should be refrigerated. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to maintain freshness.

Stir plum butter into oatmeal or yogurt for a flavorful breakfast.

Use it as a filling for pastries like tarts or turnovers.

It's delicious spread on toast, biscuits, or scones.

Add a spoonful to savory dishes like pork roasts or stews for a touch of sweetness and depth.

Overcooking the plums, which can make the butter too thick or burn the sugars.

Not cooking long enough, resulting in a thin, watery consistency.
