Washing and chopping
All the ingredients ready for the spicy plum jam
Plum and grape vanilla jam
Cooking cooking cooking... and at the end canning...
A flower in my kitchen.
It was a rainy weekend, so it was time to make more jam. I went to the market and bought 5kg of untreated plums. I decided to chop them all up but then oh no I did not have a pot big enough so I made three kinds of jam.
1) just regular plum jam
2.5 kg of plums
1 kg of sugar
juice from 1 lemon
The plums and the sugar were mixed and cooked on slow heat for 2.5 hours.
2) plum and grape vanilla jam
500 g of plums
some grapes (I don't really know how many I put)
200 g of sugar
1 vanilla bean (this one was bought in indonesia and it's quite mild)
juice from 1/2 a lemon
All ingredients were mixed and cooked on slow heat for 2.5 hours.
3) spicy plum jam
2 kg of plums
800 g of sugar
2 tsp of cinnamon
1/2 tsp of nutmeg
10-15 cloves
2 cardamon seeds
juice from 1 lemon
All the ingredients were mixed and left overnight. The next day they were cooked for 1.5 hours. I don't know why this jam took much less to cook then the others.
All the jams were canned and the containers were left to cool upside down. Now all I have to do is start eating the jam!
