Plum Jam Recipe
I have mentioned this before itself, that i love love love making homemade jams and preserves..So far i have made orange jam, apple jam, tomato jam and pineapple jam..I have made amla preserves and amla in honey too.
Making jams at home is kind of therapeutic and makes you feel happy. Because you know that the jam you are going to use has real stuff in it, not just sugar and fruit essence..This is my version of making plums jam, it is chunky and delicious, because as you bite into you get chunks of plums in your mouth.
I love to have it as it is. It has a little tartness in it along with sweet taste too..So hope you try this out and let me know how it turns out.
