Plum Spread

Ingredients

• 1 kg ripe plums
• 1 kg fruit sugar (ratio 1:1)
• 50 ml grape juice
• 1 lemon (juice)

Instructions

1. 1.

   Clean jars and lids thoroughly: sterilize in boiling water for about 10 minutes and let drain on a clean towel.

2. 2.

   Wash and pit the plums. Puree half, cut the rest into small pieces. Add lemon juice and fruit sugar, mix well and let sit for at least 1 hour. Transfer all ingredients to a pot and slowly bring to a gentle boil while stirring. Add grape juice and simmer for about 4 minutes, bubbling.

3. 3.

   Perform a gel test. Fill jars up to the rim with plum spread, seal, and place on a damp kitchen towel upside down for about 15 minutes to cool. Then turn upright and let continue cooling.
