homemade jam recipe

If you have lots of plums on hand make this homemade low sugar cinnamon plum jam. It is low in sugar, spreads perfectly and tastes of cinnamon. A perfect option for those who prefer cutting down the sugar intake!

Homemade Low Sugar Cinnamon Plum Jam

Plums (, ripe (2 kilograms))

Brown Sugar

Cinnamon Sticks

Wash, half and de-stone all the plums. Cut them in halves again.

Place them in a large pot (with wide bottom). Add sugar and cinnamon stick.

Cook on medium heat for 20 minutes or until the fruits have softened, stirring occasionally.

Run the mixture through a sieve (not a very fine mesh one as nothing will come out but the juice). Make sure you get all the flesh through – the only things you don’t need are the skins.

Pour the mixture back in the pot and simmer for a further 40 minutes or until you see it has thickened.

Place a small saucer in a fridge before making the jam. When you want to check its thickness, simply take the saucer from the fridge and pour some jam onto it. Leave it cool a few seconds before running your finger through – making a line. If the jam doesn’t fill the line, then you are good to go.

Pour/spoon it into sterilized jars leaving about 0.4 inch/1 cm free from the top. Seal with lids and turn up-side down. Let it set for 30+ minutes or following day. To see if the jars are properly sealed tap/push down the lid. If it doesn’t pop up it’s sealed. If it does, it is not air-tight. If this happens to you, simply put the jars in your fridge and eat within a week.

Tip:

Sanitize your jars &amp; lids by washing them in warm soapy water and subsequently boiling them in water bath for 15 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the jars and lids onto a clean kitchen towel turning them up-side down.

Pre-Sanitizing your jars &amp; lids:

“This is a classic recipe for the simplest jam tart pastry with an almost cake-like crumb. It’s usually made with a blackberry or apricot jam. This tart can be made in a pinch with 250g of your favourite ready-made jam and by simply following the recipe for the pastry crust,” says Emiko Davies. This is an edited extract from Torta della Nonna by Emiko Davies (Hardie Grant Books, $34.99).

Crostata di marmellata (apricot jam tart) recipe

Our Sunday morning strawberry jam is homemade, lightly sweetened, and packed with strawberries. Top your biscuits or pancakes with this easy homemade treat!

Strawberry Jam

strawberries (fresh

salt

water (for the strawberries)

cornstarch

water (for the cornstarch slurry)

In a large saucepan combine the strawberries, salt, sugar, and 1/4 of water. Cover the mixture and let it cook on medium-high heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

While the fruit cooks down, in a small mixing bowl, combine the other 1/4 cup of water with the cornstarch. Whisk the ingredients well to create the slurry.

After the 15 minutes has passed, fold the slurry into the cooked fruit mixture. Cover the saucepan, lower the heat to low, and let it cook for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Once the jam has cooked down, remove the lid (use a potato masher to mash the strawberries a little if you want). Let the jam cool, then serve over biscuits, pancakes, or toasted bread.
