Plum and thyme jam, delicious and fragrant, is excellent for breakfast together with yogurt or toasted bread, or for delicious desserts.
preparation
step 1
After washing the fruit, cut it into small pieces and put it in a very large pot. Add sugar, lemon juice and leave to soak in a cool place for about 6 hours.
step 2
After this time, bring the pot to the fire and cook the plums gently for about 2 hours, remembering to stir occasionally.
step 3
At this point, make a sort of small bag with gauze and place the sprigs of thyme inside. Close the bag with needle and thread, then dip it in the pot.
step 4
Continue to cook the jam gently for another 30 minutes, then try the saucer.
step 5
Pour a spoonful of jam on a plate, so that it cools very quickly: if the jam thickens and does not drip, it means that it is ready, otherwise you will need a few more minutes of cooking.
step 6
Once the jam is ready, remove the bag with thyme. Now, if you want a smoother result, you can blend it with the immersion blender. Personally, I prefer to leave a few pieces of fruit and omit this passage.
step 7
Pour the jam into well-cleaned jars and seal them with new caps. Cover the bottom of a pot with a cloth and place the jars inside.
step 8
Cover everything with water and boil the jam for 30 minutes. Remove the jars only when the water has turned cold and store them in a cool place away from light. In this way the jam will be kept for a year or more.
