Easy Plum Spread
From keni 12 years ago
- 45 min to make
- Serves about 4 cups
A simple fruit jam using the beautiful plum. This uses only the natural pectin in the fruit for it's texture, and honey and fruit juice for the sweeteners so you can make it to your sweet/tartness preference. :)
Ingredients
- about 8 large, juicy, ripe plums, cut in half(I leave the pit AND the skin on, because I like the tartness they lend, but you can remove both, if you'd like) shopping list
- 3T 100% sweet juice(ie grape, white grape, raspberry blend or apple-I used white grape raspberry :) shopping list
- 2t fresh lemon juice shopping list
- 1t vanilla shopping list
- 1/4-1/2 cup honey shopping list
How to make it
- In large dutch oven or similar pan, add juices and then add plums, cut side down.
- Heat over medium heat until boiling then reduce heat to a high simmer for about 30 minutes, pressing often with a large fork or a potato masher to release the plum juices and soften the skin.
- (at this point, remove the pits from the pan and if there are larger pieces of skin. I didn't remove any of the skin, at all. I left it in and it just gave it a slightly rustic texture in the end product. It wasn't chewy or fibrous and there were only very small pieces. I loved the lil hint of tartness it gave, but feel free to remove it if you'd like :)
- Add honey and vanilla and stir well.
- Continue to heat another 10-15 minutes.
- You can test the spread by dipping a COLD spoon in the mixture and lift it up. Run a finger down the back side of the spoon. If the "track" you make, remains, it's done! :)
- Serve on toast, biscuits, waffles, etc.

This worked PERFECTLY!!! It thickened up SO nicely and I left the skin on and had NO problem with it! There is no textural issue whatsoever! The sweetness is spot on too! I used a cranberry strawberry juice in mine and it worked out great! Beaut...more
