Pitted plum jam for the winter

Pitted plum jam is not just one, but dozens of very tasty recipes for preparing it for the winter, many of which are so extraordinary that from the first try it is not possible to immediately determine what this miracle is made of. Moreover, there are quite a few varieties of plums, and they differ greatly not only in color, but also in taste, sweetness, hardness and aroma.

How to properly cook pitted plum jam

However, there are general principles for making plum jam that you should familiarize yourself with before choosing a specific recipe.

Preparing plums for cooking involves thoroughly rinsing the fruits and removing the seeds. To extract them, you can split the plums into halves. There is another way: take a small clean stick with the diameter of an unsharpened pencil and, passing it through the place where the stalk is attached, push the seed out from the other side. This technique may be useful for some of the recipes described below.

There are several secrets that help maintain the integrity of plum skins when making jam:

  • Before cooking, the fruits are placed in a soda solution for several minutes, after which they are washed well under running water;
  • Before cooking, the plum is blanched for 2 minutes in boiling water and immediately rinsed with cold water.

Which plum varieties to choose for jam?

Of course, seedless plum jam can be made from any variety.But if you want to make classic jam with whole, not boiled pieces of fruit in it, then it is better to choose varieties with dense pulp and well-separable stones, for example, Renklod or Hungarian varieties. Each variety has its own flavor, thanks to which the jam from this variety of plum will be either the most aromatic, or a very beautiful shade, or the most intense taste. For example, the Hungarian variety makes plum jam thick and rich, while the Renklod variety makes the product very tender and has a subtle aroma.

The degree of ripeness of plums also largely determines the taste and consistency of the finished jam. From slightly unripe fruits it is easier to make jam from whole pieces. Fully ripened and even overripe fruits are more suitable for jam, whose consistency resembles jam or jam.

It is recommended to discard without regret even slightly spoiled fruits or those that have been visited by representatives of the insect world. After all, even one such fruit can ruin the taste of the entire finished dish.

Advice! If possible, it is better to make seedless plum jam on the day of picking the fruit from the tree.

After all, it is freshly picked plums that contain the maximum amount of pectin, which helps to obtain ready-made jam, similar to confiture. With each day of storage, the amount of pectin in fruits decreases.

How much sugar is needed for plum jam?

Although according to the standard recipe for making plum jam, the amount of sugar is taken approximately equal in weight to the amount of prepared fruit, this norm can be easily changed in one direction or another. There are recipes in which no sugar is added at all.And in the so-called “raw” jam, the amount can be doubled so that the preparation does not sour.

If the variety of plum used for jam is already quite sweet, then the amount of sugar can be significantly reduced. This will make it possible to easily obtain a thicker and at the same time almost transparent syrup.

How long to cook plum jam

According to the classic recipe, cooking plum jam lasts several days with long infusions between the shortest heating processes of the plum mass.

On the other hand, there are recipes for quick preparation of plum jam - the so-called five-minute recipe, as well as “raw” jam. In general, their preparation usually takes no more than 30-40 minutes.

In general, classic cooking with long infusions of plum jam is not always required, but only when you need to get thick and tasty jam with minimal labor (but not time). There are also more simplified recipes for plum jam, in which you can complete the entire process within 1.5-2 hours.

A frequent cause of dispute among many experienced housewives when making plum jam is the question: to add water or not to add it? After all, many recipes advise dipping prepared plums into ready-made sugar syrup. In others, the fruits are only covered with sugar and later cooked only in their own juice. In fact, a lot depends on the juiciness of the type of plum that is used to make jam. If there is enough juice in the plums, then you don’t need to add water.But at the same time, the procedure of pre-infusion of fruits with sugar becomes mandatory, and they must be especially carefully monitored during the cooking process to prevent burning.
