Plum jam is a delicious treat! I suggest you try it excellent Ugorka plum jam with pits. The jam is prepared quite simply, but it takes quite a long time, since the plums need to be kept in syrup several times for 10-12 hours. But as a result, you will get an incredibly tasty, tight, marmalade plum and aromatic, viscous syrup. This jam is perfect for unsweetened tea in winter. From this quantity of products you will get one half-liter jar.

Ingredients

To prepare Ugorka plum jam with pits you will need:

plum - 400 g;

sugar - 300 g;

water - 75 ml;

citric acid - 1/4 tsp.

Cooking steps

Sort the plums and wash them well. Prick each plum in several places with a toothpick.

To prepare the syrup, pour water into a saucepan, add sugar, bring to a boil, simmer for about 5 minutes (until the sugar dissolves).

Turn off the gas, place the plums in the hot syrup and leave them for 12 hours. Then bring the plums and syrup to a boil, remove from heat and leave again for 12 hours. Then do the same thing 2-3 more times.

Soak the plums in syrup for the last time, bring them to a boil over low heat, add citric acid. Boil over low heat for 2-3 minutes and place in a sterilized jar. Screw on the jar with a boiled lid, turn it over, wrap it up and leave until it cools completely. The most delicious Ugorka plum jam with pits can be stored at room temperature for no more than a year.
Bon appetit!

To prepare such preserved plums, we need medium-sized and ripe fruits. The jam can be rolled up after proper heat treatment or stored in a cool place, for example in the refrigerator.

An unusual jam made from plums, cocoa and butter is ready! Store in a cool place or eat immediately.

Let's move on to preparing another unusual plum preparation:

Plum jam with oranges

The cooking recipe is identical to cooking.

• 5 kg plums
• 1 kg oranges
• 5 kg sugar

Making plum and orange jam:

1. The plums, as in the first recipe, are washed, pitted, and passed through a meat grinder. If the pits are difficult to remove, the plums can be blanched (pour boiling water for 5-10 minutes, then strain through a colander) and rub through a sieve.
2. We wash the oranges, dry them, cut them into slices, remove the seeds, and pass them through a meat grinder.
3. Mix oranges and plums, add sugar and simmer over low heat for about 20-30 minutes. Place the finished jam in hot, dry, sterile jars.
4. Place the jars of jam without lids in the oven for 15 minutes. After cooling, a protective film should form on the plum jam. Such jam can be closed with ordinary nylon lids and stored at room temperature.

Recipes for cooking from plum preparations are unusual, but very simple, and most importantly delicious. Enjoy your tea with excellent jam and preserves!

We tear off the stems of the plum and wash it thoroughly.

Break the plum into two halves and remove the pits.

We take a pan and pour plums and sugar into it in layers, so that there is a plum at the bottom, then sugar, then plum again and again there is a layer of sugar on top.

This is what plums sprinkled with sugar should look like. In this form, we leave the plums at room temperature for a day so that they release juice.

A day later we see that the plums are almost completely immersed in their juice.

Place the plums on the stove and bring to a boil over low heat. At this stage, we can carefully stir the plums; later this will no longer be possible, since our halves may disintegrate and the jam will lose its beautiful aesthetic appearance. Cook for 1 minute after the syrup boils, then remove the jam from the stove until it cools completely for 6-8 hours.

After the allotted time, we put the pan on the stove again and bring the jam to a boil over low heat. Cook for 1 minute and set aside for 6-8 hours. During the cooking process, foam may form which will need to be skimmed off.

We clean the nuts from the shell.

Place the nut kernels on a heated frying pan (or on a baking sheet in the oven) and lightly fry them.

After roasting the walnut kernels, the brown skin will easily fall off, which we should peel off from the nuts if possible.

Prepare jars and lids. To do this, we wash them, dry them and sterilize them over steam for 10 minutes.

Here comes the last stage of cooking our incredibly tasty jam. As in the previous two times, we bring the jam to a boil over low heat and boil for 1 minute.

We roll up the jars with sterile lids, turn them upside down and wrap them overnight until they cool completely. Have a delicious and fragrant winter!

There are several ways to make plum jam for the winter, but you always end up with a tasty delicacy that’s nice to put on the table for tea. And the plum jam filling for pies or sponge rolls is simply incomparable. The degree of sweetness depends on the amount of sugar added, so in each individual case sugar is added to taste. For some, you need to put the same amount of sugar per kilogram of fruit, but for others, one kilogram per 4 kg of plums is enough.

Plum jam slices

In order for whole plum slices to be preserved in the jam and not to boil over during boiling, the plums must not be overripe, with dense pulp and hard. Washed and dried plums are divided into halves and pitted. The slices are flattened into a container for making jam and covered with sugar. They should not be stirred so as not to crush the plum halves; you can only shake them directly in the bowl so that they are completely immersed in the syrup.

It is ideal to leave the plums in sugar overnight so that under the influence of sugar they release juice well, and if this does not work, then add sugar in the morning, and in the evening put it on the fire and let it boil. Remove the boiled jam from the heat and set aside to cool. It’s good if after five hours you can bring the plums to a boil again, but if not, try to do it after about the same time. The procedure of bringing to a boil and cooling is repeated several times (at least three). The more such approaches, the thicker the jam will turn out. This is especially true in cases where there is much less sugar in the jam than fruit.

Letting the jam boil for the last time, bring it to readiness, pour it into sterilized jars and seal with metal lids. 10 minutes before final readiness, you can add vanillin to the jam to give the jam a pleasant “homey” smell.

Jam with Ugorka seeds

Jam made from whole Ugorka plums turns out tasty and beautiful - the fruits retain their shape and the skin does not crack. Whole plums are selected - not overripe and even a little greenish. The syrup is prepared separately: for each kilogram of fruit, 700 grams of sugar and 200 milliliters of water are taken. The syrup is cooled to the temperature of warm tea and poured into the plums. After this, the container is placed on the fire, everything is quickly brought to a boil and removed from the heat. After letting the jam cool for one and a half to two hours, it is again brought to a boil, and this is repeated two more times. Having put the jam on the fire for the last time, cook it until it is completely cooked, when a drop of syrup poured onto the plate does not spread over the surface. The finished jam is poured into sterilized jars and sealed. If you don’t have a cellar, you can store such a product in your apartment in the pantry in winter.

Plum jam can be slightly modified by adding to the plums fruits that ripen at the same time, for example, apples, pears, cherries or peaches. This way you will get jam made according to your own recipe and, perhaps, it will become your favorite preparation for the winter.
