Wild Plum Jam Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 cups of wild plums, pitted and chopped
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp grated lemon zest

Instructions:

1. In a large pot, combine the chopped wild plums, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and grated lemon zest. Mix well.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
3. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until it thickens and reaches the desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent the jam from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
4. Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool down for a few minutes.
5. Using a hand blender or a food processor, blend the mixture until it becomes smooth.
6. Pour the jam into sterilized jars and let it cool down completely before covering with lids and storing in the fridge or pantry.

Verdict:

This wild plum jam is a wonderful combination of sweet and tart flavors. It’s perfect to spread over toast, biscuits, or even enjoy as a topping over ice cream. The lemon juice and zest add a nice citrusy touch to the jam, making it taste even more refreshing.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve the jam with freshly baked croissants for a delicious breakfast or brunch.
• Use the jam as a glaze for grilled meats or veggies.
• Spread the jam over a cheese platter for a sweet and savory combination.
