Plum Jam

Ingredients

• 1 kg ripe plums
• 1 lemon
• 400 g coconut palm sugar
• 2 tsp agar-agar

Instructions

1. 1.

   Clean, wash, halve, pit, and quarter the plums lengthwise. Squeeze the lemon and add its juice along with coconut palm sugar to the fruit; mix well and let sit for at least 1 hour.

2. 2.

   Heat water in a pot and sterilize jars by boiling them for 10 minutes. Bring the plum mixture to a gentle boil while stirring, add agar-agar, and simmer for 5 minutes until bubbling.

3. 3.

   Perform a gel test by placing a small amount of jam on a cold plate; if it sets firmly, fill the hot jars to the rim, seal tightly, and invert them for 10 minutes. Then turn them upright and allow to cool.
