3 kg plums;
1.5 kg of granulated sugar;
0.5 sachet of vanillin.
The first thing to do is rinse the fruits well and pour them into a colander to dry. Then, open the fruits and remove the seeds from them.
We will prepare a thick-walled pan with a large bottom, in which we will cook the workpiece.
In a mixer or meat grinder, grind the plums together with the peel and put them in a prepared container.
We also pour sugar there.
After thoroughly mixing the resulting mass with sugar, put it on a small fire and leave the jam from the plums to cook for an hour and a half, constantly stirring with a wooden spatula so as not to burn. The lid does not need to be closed.
After an hour, you need to add vanillin and leave the plums for another 10-15 minutes to boil.

Plum jam.
Cooking:
Jam from plums is prepared from fresh, ripened and pureed fruits. There should not be any bones or peel in it. Plums put them in a bowl, add (per 1 kg of fruit) ½ cup of water and steam over low heat to make them soft. Then cool everything a little and rub through a sieve to free it from the skin.
Boil the mashed plums until almost done. Jam is desirable to cook in a low wide bowl to get a quick evaporation, which guarantees a rich color and excellent taste of the finished product. In the process of cooking, plum jam should be constantly stirred with a wooden spatula so that it does not burn.
Pour sugar only after the entire fruit mass has thickened sufficiently (we boil it almost 2 times), since sugar contributes to rapid burning.
When preparing jam, the main role is played by the determination of the correct density. The best way to determine the density is to run a wooden spoon or spatula along the bottom, if a path forms at the bottom of the bowl, which slowly fills up, then the jam is ready.
The finished plum jam is poured hot into washed and sterilized jars and rolled up. Air cooling.
Gardeners have several dozen varieties of plums, each of which differs in taste and shape. However, regardless of the type of plum, it has useful properties, which is why hostesses use this fruit for cooking: jam, compotes, jam and marmalade. Plum harvesting will delight you in the winter and will be especially useful for people who suffer from anemia and constipation. Due to the high content of potassium, plum pulp helps to remove salts from the body. Due to the quick preparation, jam for the winter from plums has been made, it will retain the maximum of useful substances. Following simple recommendations, you can cook pitted plum jam in a short period of time.
The recipe for making jam is simple, first we need to take and rinse the previously sorted plum under running water.
We separate the washed plum from the seeds, so it is better to take a variety that is easily amenable to this procedure. Otherwise, you will have to work hard with removing the seeds from the plums.
According to the recipe, add cold water to the peeled fruits, and boil over medium heat until the berries are well boiled. The cooking time will take no more than 20 minutes.
Rub the boiled fruit through a sieve, pour the norm of sugar into the resulting mass. If the mass is not passed through a sieve, the jam will not be so transparent and uniform. Cook jam exclusively on low heat. If the fire is increased, there is a risk of getting burnt jam.
Cook plum jam, until a thick consistency is formed, stirring constantly for at least half an hour. Then, hot, place the jam in sterile jars and cork with lids. According to the recipe, you can make 2 jars of jam 0.5 liters each.
Homemade plum jam for breakfast and for pies - delicious. A tasty piece of bread with butter and jam from plums is a great yummy for breakfast. We are going to cook it today.
But first, let's figure out how the right plum jam differs from thick jam or jam. No starch or gelatin is ever used to make homemade jam. If I see that novice housewives are trying to mix these "factory" thickeners into the drain, I stop them. What kind of starch, when the plum is so rich in pectin - "glue" of natural origin? Unlike jam and jam, jam is cooked on the basis of plum puree. So, in more detail.
To prepare jam from plums for the winter, soft, not rotten, but very ripe fruits are taken. More sugar.
The skin is removed from the plum and the stone is removed. I don’t know, maybe someone cooks plum jam with a skin, but for myself I chose a simpler, tastier and more reliable way.
The plum pulp is mashed into a puree. Potato masher - to help us. I think that there is no need to rub a plum without a skin through a sieve. Ripe plums can be turned into puree with a spoon.
Plum puree is covered with sugar until completely covered.
Stir and put on the stove until the sugar is completely dissolved. After boiling, the fire is reduced.
Plum jam is cooked from 1.5 to 2 hours, while stirring every 10 minutes, or even more often. The main thing is not to let the jam burn. It is more convenient to use the standard method of boiling berries and fruits - in an enameled basin.
Who wants to roll plum jam for the winter, let him choose small glass jars. Containers with lids must be sterile.
Plum jam is ready! See how transparent and uniform it turned out.
When warm, it has a semi-liquid base. When it cools down, it turns into a real thick jam for sandwiches and homemade pies. Plum jam for the winter is an ideal filling for gingerbread, cakes and cakes.
