Directions
Step 1
Wash the plums thoroughly and pat them dry.
Step 2
Cut the plums into small pieces, discarding the pits, and place them in a large microwave-safe bowl.
Step 3
Add the granulated sugar, freshly grated ginger, lemon juice, and water to the bowl with the plums. Stir well to combine.
Step 4

Step 5
Return the bowl to the microwave and cook for another 5 minutes on high power. Stir again and check the consistency.
Step 6
If the jam is not yet thickened, microwave for another 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired consistency. Keep in mind the jam will thicken further as it cools.
Step 7

Step 8
Serve the jam on toast, pancakes, or use it as a condiment for savory dishes. Enjoy!
