A delicious, simple recipe

Preserve the plums

If you want to stock up on plums, be sure to look for firm but ripe fruit when buying the fruit.

1. Wash the plums in a cold water bath.
2. Cut the fruit in half with a sharp knife and remove the core.
3. Make sure that there are no rotten spots and worms.
4. Prepare your mason jars. Regardless of which jars you use, with a twist-off or with a glass lid, preserving jars are always sterilized. Boil the jars or put them in the oven for ten minutes at 100 degrees.
5. Boil a sugar stock to preserve the plums. For 1 kg of fruit you need about 250 g of sugar. If the plums are very sweet, use less sugar.
6. Boil sugar and an appropriate amount of water until the sugar dissolves.
7. Place the halved plums in the glasses. If you want, you can add spices, such as a cinnamon stick, a piece of vanilla pod, or a clove.
8. Now pour the hot brew over the plums. There should be about 1 cm of space up to the edge of the glass and the fruits are completely covered with the sugar solution.
9. Clean the rim of the jar, close the jars and wake them up immediately.

In the preserving machine

Here you pour water up to half of the glasses, close the kettle and heat it up to 90 degrees. Wake the jars for 30 minutes. Let them cool down a little in the cauldron and then place them covered on the worktop to cool down completely.

In the oven

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and place the glasses in the drip pan. Pour 2 cm of water. Put the tray in the oven. As soon as the liquid begins to pearl in the glasses, turn off the oven, the glasses remain in the oven for half an hour. Open the oven door a little so that the food cools down slightly. Take the glasses out and cover them to cool completely on the worktop.
