If you combine plum with orange, you get an amazing dessert that the whole family will enjoy on cold evenings. The delicacy comes out sweet, has a slight sourness of plum and a unique aroma of orange. In order not to change the color of the jam, stir only with a wooden spoon.
Citric acid will help to avoid the sugaring of the dessert. Add a teaspoon of lemons per kilogram of sugar and the jam will remain intact.
In jam, pieces of fruit retain their shape. In jam, everything is boiled down to a thick state. This mass is easy to spread on pancakes and rolls, it is convenient to add to tea. When making jam, you can take fruits that are overripe.
The easiest cooking option is to use a multicooker. The taste will remain unchanged, and the cooking time will take much less. In this cooking option, the syrup will definitely not burn. For a beautiful jam color, it is best to use yellow plums.
Seedless, the recipe of which is passed down from generation to generation in many families, is prepared quite quickly, and most importantly, without unnecessary effort. There is a universal cooking method that is suitable for both the stove and the multicooker, which rare kitchens do without these days.
Plums are useful in that they have a good effect on intestinal motility, stimulating it. It is noteworthy that after cooking the fruits retain this property. The vitamin composition of plums undergoes some changes, but they remain healthy and tasty even in the form of jam.
This jam is more like a thick syrup with pieces of berries. It tastes as good as any other. Cooking plum jam according to this recipe will not cause difficulties even for those who have never rolled up jars for the winter before.
You will need:
Ripe dark plums (1-1.5 kg);
Sugar (300-450 g).
There is no water in the recipe at all, you do not need to add it. The seeds are removed from the plums, the halves of the fruit are placed in a deep saucepan. From above, everything is covered with sugar. Pitted plum jam, the recipe for which involves infusion, turns out to be especially tasty and aromatic. The fruit is left sprinkled with sugar for a while so that they give juice. The term depends on how ripe the plums were taken. Once the juice has emerged, the pot can be placed on the stove to bring the contents to a boil. Next, you need to cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring with a spoon so as not to violate the integrity of the drain. You need to repeat the procedure 2-3 times: boil, boil, boil, boil. The finished jam is closed in heated sterilized jars.
The principle of preparation does not differ from the previous one, there is only one difference: sugar is taken at the rate of 1 kilogram per 1 kilogram of fruit. Plum jam for the winter, made in this way, turns out to be rich, sweet and does not become sugared for a long time if the jars have been well sterilized. Store it in a cool place. The maximum shelf life is 2 years. After this time, there is a risk that the jam will simply become sweet, having lost all its useful properties.
The recipe described above is also suitable for fruits with a pronounced acidity, but there is a slight difference. First, you need more sugar: 1 kilogram of plums requires 1.5 kilograms. Secondly, in order for the fruit to give juice, it is necessary to add half a glass of boiled warm water. Thirdly, it will take about 10-12 hours to insist. At the same time, seedless plum jam, the recipe of which is universal for any variety, turns out to be moderately sweet, moderately sour. The bones can not be thrown away, leaving them for other purposes. For example, homemade tinctures.
The amount of ingredients is selected individually, taking into account the volume of the bowl in the device. 1 kilogram of plums requires 1 kilogram of sugar. You do not need to soak the fruit. They are thoroughly washed, peeled, peeled off. It is not difficult to do this: the plums are scalded with boiling water, then the skin is removed. The halves of the plums are laid in an even layer in a bowl, sprinkled with sugar, fruits are again laid out on it until the multicooker is full. Plum jam, not cooked at home on the stove, has a special aroma and softness. In consistency, it looks more like a very delicate jam. The program is exhibited "Extinguishing". How much 1 hour is enough with a power of 750-800 watts. After cooking, the jam is closed in jars or eaten immediately. Any kind of plum is suitable, but cook sour ones longer - 1.5 hours. Sugar is added to taste.
Not everyone likes the five-minute jam, so you can cook it according to the traditional method, which was previously used in every third house. You will need:
Elastic plums (1 kilogram);
Sugar (1.4 kilograms);
Boiled water (1.5 cups, 200 ml).
Plum jam for the winter used to be prepared this way. Its taste is familiar to many from childhood, although you have to tinker a little. The fruit is pitted and placed in a separate bowl. Sugar is mixed with water, syrup is cooked over low heat. The calculation of the ratio is simple: for 1400 grams of sugar, 300 ml of water is needed. The syrup is not cooled, but immediately poured into the plums. You need to insist them in this form for 6-8 hours. Then the syrup is drained again, boiled over a slow fire, and the plums are again poured over them for several hours. After this preparation, the jam is placed on the stove. You need to cook it over low heat, stirring, removing the foam, for an hour. The recipe for delicious plum jam is not so simple, but the result exceeds all expectations. They are closed in jars in the same way as any other homemade product.
If the plums were unripe or sour, then they need to be infused longer - 4-5 hours. How much to cook plum jam in this case? The same amount is 1 hour. To check how well it boiled down, you can put a drop of syrup on a plate. If the drop has not flowed and has not spread over the surface, then the jam is completely ready for spinning. It is not necessary to cool it.
Jam with plums and oranges turns out to be very interesting in taste. It will require:
Plums (1 kg ripe, but not too soft);
Sugar (1.5 kilograms for the whole cooking);
Zest of 5 oranges.
The plums are sprinkled with sugar (the seeds are removed beforehand), left for several hours until the juice is released. At this time, candied fruits are made from orange peel. That is, the skin is caramelized over low heat with sugar. Plum with juice is placed on the stove. After the first boil, the fire is reduced to a minimum. Candied orange peel is passed through a meat grinder, added to fruit with syrup. You need to cook until tender, on average 1-1.5 hours over low heat. The finished jam is closed in jars. The combination of oranges and plums gives an indescribable aroma and taste to the preparation.
To prevent the workpieces from deteriorating, you need to properly close them for storage. It's not as difficult as it sounds. To begin with, the jars are thoroughly washed, poured over with boiled water from the inside, and dried. The latter is very important: pitted plum jam (any recipe) requires well-sterilized containers, otherwise it will be difficult to avoid the appearance of mold or mildew. Banks are kept over steam until all the droplets are dry. The lids are sterilized in boiling water for 10-15 minutes. Jam is placed in jars with a wooden spoon so that the cutlery does not touch the walls, otherwise they will burst. Everything is closed with a choice of lids: plastic or metal. The latter are twisted with a special machine.
