Whole fruit plum jam is a great way to preserve plums for pies, cakes, and other desserts. With this method of preserving plums, you do not need to clear them of the pits, but you need to be patient, since you will need to cook the jam in several steps, so the process will last for 1-2 days.

For jam, prepare ripe "Vengerka" plums, this variety has an elastic skin and dense structure.


The longer you cook the plum jam, the thicker it will become. Therefore, everyone is free to choose for themselves the degree of thickening of this sweetness, but keep in mind that it is necessary to boil and cool the jam at least three times.

Ingredients:

  • 700 g purple or yellow plums;
  • 500 g granulated sugar;
  • 150 ml hot water.

Cooking process:

Rinse the plums in water and select soft or slightly spoiled fruits, removing them from the total mass. Transfer the plums to a cauldron, stewpan or saucepan with a non-stick bottom and cover with granulated sugar, lightly pricked with a knife or fork.
Let the fruit sit in the sugar for about 1 hour, then place the container on the fire and bring to a boil with 100-150 ml of hot water. As soon as the fruit comes to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer the jam on it for exactly 10 minutes, then turn it off and let it cool completely. As the plum cools, it will absorb the sugar syrup through the punctures and caramelize.

As soon as the whole plum jam has cooled, and this will happen in 4-6 hours, place the container on the fire again and let it boil again, and then suddenly extinguish the fire. Let the jam cool again.

For the third time, place the cooled plum jam with seeds on the stove and let it boil for about 10 minutes, then put the fruit in scalded jars and pour over the resulting caramel juice.

Seal the jars with hot iron lids using a conservation wrench and turn them upside down to cool. If you don’t want to cook this delicious jam for so long, then use “confiture” or pectin, with its help any jam thickens right before your eyes and you don’t have to cook it for several days in a row. Move the jars of plum jam to a cool, dark place as it cools.

For cooking, you can use a suitable bowl or saucepan, and cook the jam on low heat on the stove until it thickens, stirring occasionally and skimming.

Fill the plum with the required amount of granulated sugar according to the recipe.

Now add the cocoa powder. If you want a richer chocolate flavor, you can add a little more cocoa.

If you cook jam on the stove, then it is better to add cocoa 5-10 minutes after boiling the jam, when you have removed most of the foam.

We install the container in the bread maker.

We have enough time to prepare the container for storing the jam. Glass jars must be thoroughly washed with baking soda and rinsed. Then sterilize in any way you can. Directly sterilizing containers should be done shortly before the end of cooking the jam, so that the jars are hot before spilling.

After the allotted time, 1 hour 20 minutes, we remove the container from the bread maker, pour the finished hot jam into jars. We seal with a seaming key.

We wrap the jars with a blanket and leave them in this state until they cool completely. The cooled jam can be stored in a cool place.

Cool down. And cook again until boiling. So repeat 3 times.

  • 1 kg of plums (sort "Hungarian");
  • 1 kg of sugar;
  • 0.5 cups of water (250 ml glass).

Remove the syrup from the heat and immediately add the halves of the plums to the syrup, leave to cool so that the plums let the juice flow.

Leave the jam again until it cools completely (you can leave the jam for 8 hours, boil in the morning, next time in the evening, etc.). After cooling, bring the jam to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. This will allow the fruit to become syrupy and thicken the syrup.

It turns out about 1 liter of jam.
