If you want to sweeten yourself or your loved ones or if you want a special treat for friends, prepare plum jam. Fresh with a delicate flavor, they transform into a sweet miracle as they are prepared in the most fantastic tradition of Albanian housewives, that of jam.
AgroWeb.org suggests below two fantastic, completely easy methods for preparing plum jam at home.
Ingredients for 2 kg of plum jam:
1 kg sugar (the amount of sugar is added according to preference, you can add less if you prefer it sweeter))
The riper the plums, the better. Try to choose plums that are as soft as possible, as the jam will become even more crumbly.
Ripe plums also have the highest levels of fructose, and it gives the jam the natural sweetness of the fruit.
Leave them in the sugar for about 4-6 hours to marinate. This method may seem strange to you, since we usually add the sugar when we put the fruit on the fire.
Marinating allows the plums to absorb the sugar better and the jam to become thicker and more liquid.
After washing the plums with plenty of water, cut them into four pieces. In a large bowl, mix the sugar with the plums by hand.
Then place the bowl in the refrigerator or a cool place and leave for about 4-6 hours. This will allow the plums to release their juice and form a delicious syrup.
In a saucepan, combine the plums with the sugar and place over low heat. The key to preserving the flavor is to use a large saucepan.
Then add the water and bring to a boil. Make sure to stir occasionally so the plums don't sink to the bottom of the pot and stick together. But don't stir so much that the plums lose their shape.
Continue to boil the jam until its initial quantity is reduced by half. During boiling, the jam will form a cream on its surface, to get the most beautiful color, use a spoon to remove it whenever it forms.
If you want the jam to not form a cream, you can add a tablespoon of fresh butter. After 15-30 minutes have passed, it is time to check if the jam is ready.
Test the consistency of the jam with a spoon. It should not be thick like cream, but not too runny either.
Once it has cooled slightly, you can fill the glass jars. It is best to keep the jam at room temperature for a few hours and then place it in the refrigerator.
If you prefer the jam to be seedless, simply press them with a kitchen strainer after marinating. We advise you not to peel the skins before marinating, as they contain the highest percentage of the plums' unique flavor.
You can then follow the same steps as in the first method, and you will get a jam with an amazing color and flavor.
