Ingredients
- 1000 grams Mirabelle plums
- 800 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 pieces Fresh rosemary sprigs
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 200 milliliters Water
Directions
Step 1
Wash the Mirabelle plums thoroughly under cold running water and remove any stems or debris. Cut the plums in half and remove the pits.
Step 2
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the halved plums, water, and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Simmer the plums for about 10 minutes, until they start to break down and release their juices. Use a wooden spoon or potato masher to crush the fruit slightly for a smoother texture.
Step 4
Add the granulated sugar to the pan and stir well to dissolve. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil.
Step 5
Tie the rosemary sprigs together with kitchen twine or place them in a tea infuser to make removal easier. Add the rosemary to the boiling jam mixture.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer and cook the mixture for 25-30 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. The jam should thicken and pass the 'wrinkle test'. (To perform this test, place a small spoonful of jam on a chilled plate, let it cool for a few seconds, then push it with your finger. If it wrinkles, the jam is ready.)
Step 7
Once the jam has reached the desired consistency, remove the rosemary sprigs and discard them.
Step 8
Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace. Wipe the rims clean, seal with lids, and allow to cool to room temperature before storing.
Step 9
Store the jam in a cool, dark place for up to a year. Refrigerate after opening and consume within 2-3 weeks.
