Cooking with the Fountain Plum Jam & Oriental Pork
Plum Jam
Ingredients:
————-
1.4 kg Washed Ripe plums
1.4 kg. Granulated Sugar
450 ml Water
15 g Butter
Method:
———-
Put plums and water in saucepan and bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover saucepan and simmer for 10 to 20 minutes or until the fruit is tender. Add sugar and stir until it is dissolved. Bring jam back to boil. Boil for 10 to 15 minutes, until setting point is reached. ( to check if jam has reached setting point put a spoon of jam on a saucer, allow to cool and then tilt the saucer. If jam has reached setting point it will not run off the saucer and will appear slightly thick.) Remove stones from jam. Add butter to disperse scum on top. Place jam jars in a low heat in the oven to prevent them cracking when hot jam is added. Pot jam, add greaseproof film, then cellophane jam jar covers. A tip for adding the cellophane cover is: Put some warm water in a small dish, dip the cover in it without getting the cover wet on one side. Place dry side of cover on top of jam jar and gently pull until a seal is formed. Place a plastic band around top.
