Ingredients
- 8 ripe, red plums
- 3 tbsp water
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp cardamom
Instructions
- Pit and quarter plums.
- In a medium pot combine all of the ingredients and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally for 25 minutes until the plums break down and become a jammy-like consistency.
- Taste and add a touch more maple syrup if needed.
- Remove from the heat and let cool fully. The jam will continue to thicken slightly as it cools.
- If a smoother consistency is preferred, pulse the jam in a blender a couple of times once cooled. Then store in the fridge for 1.5 weeks or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
