Yellow Cherry Plum Jam

A kiss — the sweetest habit of love.

Homemade Yellow Cherry Plum Jam

Homemade yellow cherry plum jam brings golden sweetness to your jar. First, you halve the plums and remove pits. Then, you simmer them gently with sugar, water, and lemon juice. Next, you stir frequently until the mixture thickens. Finally, let it rest briefly before jarring while still warm. The result is fragrant, bright, and richly comforting.

Ingredients
● 1 kg ripe yellow cherry plums
● 750 g sugar
● juice of 1 lemon

Directions
Wash the cherry plums well, slice in half and remove the seeds.
Put the sliced cherry plums and the sugar in a pot with the seeds we removed, tied in a piece of cheesecloth.
Put the pot on high heat for 10 minutes and bring to a boil, remove any foam from the surface with a spoon, and then lower the heat to medium.
Simmer until the jam has reduced, about 30-35 minutes.
Stir frequently so it does not scorch.
Once the jam has thickened, turn off the heat and allow the jam to rest for a bit and then store in sterilized jars.
