We’ve had a bumper crop of Victoria plums on the tree in the garden.
So I’ve been busy making yummy plum jam….
Recipe: Victoria Plum Jam
3lb plums
2 3/4lb sugar
knob of butter
Put the sugar in an oven proof dish and put in the oven on a low heat.
Halve and stone the plums. Put in a jam/large pan with approximately 1 pint of cold water. Bring to the boil then turn down the heat and simmer gently until the plums are cooked and squashy -approx 15 minutes.
Add the warmed sugar and stir to dissolve. Turn up the heat and boil rapidly for approx 10 minutes then test for set. When setting point is reached take off the heat and stir in the butter to disperse any scum. Ladle into warmed jam jars put on lids and leave to cool. Enjoy!
