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.
