Small Batch Vanilla Plum Jam
This dreamy recipe with plum marries California-Grown plums, lemon juice, vanilla, and some sugar, resulting in a truly enchanting spread.
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh California plums cleaned, sliced in half, pits removed. Then slice the plum halves into 4 pieces
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons vanilla extract homemade or store-bought
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Place the prepared plums, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a medium-sized saucepan.
- Cook over high heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring often, to avoid burning the fruit.
- Lower the heat to medium-high and allow the jam to boil for 12 minutes, stirring frequently until it begins to thicken.
- Use a fork or a potato masher to gently break up the fruit if desired.
- To check if the jam is ready, dip a spoon in the jam then make a streak down the back of the spoon with your finger. If the gap stays set the jam is ready. If the jam is still runny, cook it for a few more minutes then check again.
- Once the jam has set up, remove it from the heat and allow the jam to cool before transferring it to a clean glass jar. Allow the jam to cool completely tghen refrigerate for up to 3 weeks.,
