Preparation

  • Start this traditional recipe by washing and drying the plums. Split them into quarters, remove the stones and place them in successive layers in a large bowl, alternating with a layer of sugar.
  • Add the lemon juice and leave to macerate overnight, covered and at room temperature.
  • The next day, pour the plums and all their juice into a jam pan.
  • Add the cinnamon powder or a cinnamon stick.
  • Bring your jam pan to the boil. From this point, count the cooking time: 7 minutes with a sugar jelly, otherwise 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Keep over a high heat and stir often. Check that the jam is cooked by pouring a few drops onto a cold plate and then tilting the plate. The plum jam should run gently.
  • Skim off the foam and immediately pour into the jars, close them and turn them over for 1 minute, then put them upright again to cool.
