Ingredients

• 500 g plums
• 400 g granulated sugar
• juice of 1 lemon

Materials

• Pot

Preparation

• In a large pot, place the pitted plums. Add the sugar and lemon juice, and stir.
• Put on high heat and bring to a boil.
  
• Once it has boiled, reduce to low heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• After 30 minutes, take a small spoonful of jam and place it on a cold plate. If it sets, your jam is ready! If not, continue cooking for another 10 minutes.
  
• Pour the jam into a jar, close it, and turn it upside down. Leave it in this position until it cools down. This helps to sterilize your jam jar.
• And there you have it, your homemade plum jam is ready!
  

Observations

Lemon: It is not strictly necessary, but it helps activate the fruit's pectin, allowing the jam to set properly.
Granulated sugar: This is also not essential, but it is preferred for making jams as it dissolves more slowly.
