This can be used for any other jam too! And with the grams used, simply double them, half them - do as you please! :)

800g plum (or whichever fruit of choice)

400g sugar (more or less - depends on your taste!)

4 tbsp water

Splash of lemon juice, or two - I just pour a circle in the pot :)

Utensils needed:

- A pot

- A wooden spoon

- Weighing scales

Now!

Pre-cooking: place a plate in the freezer!

1. Wash and cut your fruit, take out any stones.

2. Place your fruit and 4 tbsp water in your pot on high heat, crush the fruit up a little bit if you want.

3. Wait for the water to turn to whichever colour of your fruit and the fruit to soften quite a lot, but still staying together.

4. Pour in half your sugar, stir it in, and then pour in the other half, and stir that in.

5. Then the lemon juice.

6. If not already bubbling, bring the jam to a bubble (can boil, but I like my jam to cook slightly slower).

7. Now once the fruit mixture/jam starts to sort of clump on the back of your spoon, and it starts to seem a little thicker, get the cold plate out of the freezer and place a little bit of jam on it. Making sure it isn’t too hot to touch, run a finger through the jam, if the jam doesn’t automatically cover the line you make back up, and you can see the plate for a good amount of time (a light layer of jam with eventually cover the line back up, so don’t worry), it’s ready! If the jam automatically covers the line you make, it’s not ready - keep boiling! :)

8. Once the jam is done, make sure your jar(s) (and their lids!) are sterilised and pour the jam in!

And there! Wow, jam! :)

A sweet and fragrant jam made with ripe plums and the aromatic essence of vanilla beans. Perfect for spreading on breakfast treats or as a gourmet gift.

Ingredients: 1 kg ripe plums, pitted and chopped. 500g granulated sugar. 2 vanilla beans, split and seeds scraped. Juice of 1 lemon.

Instructions: The sugar and chopped plums should be combined in a large saucepan. Give it an hour to macerate. After an hour, combine the split vanilla bean pods and the scraped vanilla bean seeds with the sugar mixture and plums. After the sugar has dissolved entirely, place the saucepan over medium heat and stir. Stir thoroughly after adding the lemon juice to the mixture. After bringing the mixture to a boil, lower the heat so that it simmers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the jam thickens and reaches the desired consistency, about 30 to 40 minutes. Take out and discard the pods of vanilla beans. Fill sterilized jars with the hot plum and vanilla jam, leaving a quarter of an inch headspace. To guarantee appropriate preservation, firmly seal the jars and process them in a water bath for ten minutes. Before storing the jam in a cool, dark location, let it cool completely. Savor your homemade Plum and Vanilla Bean Jam as a delicious condiment or on toast or pastries!
