You will need:
500g Plums
375g Granulated Sugar
2 tbsp Lime juice
Half a cinnamon stick
1 tbsp port
175ml water
Method:
1. In a large saucepan; put in your plums, lime juice, cinnamon and water over a low heat. Keep over a low heat for 10 mins to soften the fruit. As you leave it to simmer put a couple of small plates in the fridge, which we will use to test to see if the jam is ready.
2. Then add the sugar and stir well until the sugar has dissolved, then turn the heat up until it reaches a rolling boil. Simmer for about 5 to 10 mins.
3. Once you think the jam is ready take the jam off the heat while we test it. To test; put a small drop of jam on your chilled plate and allow to cool. When pushing your finger though it it creates a wrinkle the jam is ready.
4. Then add the port to the jam and remove the cinnamon stick. Then stir well.
4. Simply put the jam into clean jam jars and leave to cool. If you put the lid on while the jam it hot it will keep an air tight seal, the jam should keep for 6 months and when opened keep refrigerated and use within a week.
