Delicious thick jam from homemade plums for the winter

So, we will prepare homemade plum jam so that in winter we can pamper our loved ones with pies and cheesecakes. The recipe is very simple, with step-by-step photos of the cooking process.

And so, let's take:

3 kg plums;

1.5 kg granulated sugar;

0.5 packets of vanillin.

How to make plum jam for the winter

The first thing to do is rinse the fruits well and pour them into a colander to let them dry. Then, open the fruits and remove the seeds from them.

Let's prepare a thick-walled pan with a large bottom in which we will cook the product.

Using a mixer or meat grinder, grind the plums along with the peel and place them in a prepared container.

Pour granulated sugar in there too.

Having thoroughly mixed the resulting mass with sugar, put it on low heat and leave the plum jam to cook for an hour and a half, stirring constantly with a wooden spatula so as not to burn. There is no need to close the lid.

After an hour, you need to add vanillin and leave the plums to boil for another 10-15 minutes.

The jam should be put into jars while it’s hot, otherwise you simply won’t be able to do this, because the plum jam will turn out to be quite thick and this can be clearly seen in the photo. Banks in advance sterilize, you can in microwave.

We close the jars with lids.

This homemade thick plum jam contains no unnecessary additives, dyes, thickeners or flavor enhancers. And in pies baked in winter, it will not spread, like jam from the store does.
