Plum Jam

Unopened jars can be stored in a cool, dark pantry for up to a year. Once opened, refrigerate and consume within 3 months.

For a smoother jam, strain out the plum skins before cooking.

Adjust sugar levels based on the sweetness of your plums and personal preference.

Add a squeeze of lemon juice during cooking to brighten the flavor and aid in setting.

Toast, croissants, and other pastries

Yogurt and oatmeal

Cheeseboards

Pork and duck dishes

Cakes and tarts

Using underripe or overripe plums can affect the texture and flavor.

Not cooking the jam long enough can result in a runny consistency.

Overcrowding the pot can lead to uneven cooking and potential scorching.
