Categories     Pickles, Jams, Preserves

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 cups chopped purple plums (Number of plums varies depending on size.)
2 cups granulated sugar
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger

Steps:

  • If you plan to process the jam, prepare and sterilize jars and lids. You can find directions at my post Home Canning (Boiling Water Method) or at the National Center for Home Food Preservation website.
  • In the microwave safe pan, cook the chopped plums, sugar, and lemon juice on HIGH for 7 minutes, stirring twice during cooking.
  • Add the chopped ginger, stir, and cook on HIGH for 15 to 18 minutes, stirring every 4 minutes. The mixture should form a gel.
  • Ladle into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch headroom. Process for 10 minutes in the prepared boiling water canner. Or you can freeze the jam if desired. Will keep unprocessed in the refrigerator for about 3 weeks.

GINGERED PLUM JAM



Gingered Plum Jam image

The plums are not peeled; this produces a vibrant ruby-red color. This recipe yields approximately 4-8 ounce jars of jam. This is just the perfect amount for DH and me. A food processor is wonderful for processing the plums and if you don't have a water bath don't worry. A large pasta pot with strainer insert works wonders. The recipe comes from Cooking Pleasures.

Time 45m

Yield 4 8 ounce jars

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/2 lbs plums, finely chopped, unpeeled
3 cups sugar
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1 dash ground allspice

Steps:

  • Place all the ingredients in a heavy large pot; stir to combine.
  • Attach a jelly thermometer to side of pan or place a small plate in freezer to chill for testing jam.
  • Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, adjusting heat as needed to maintain an even boil; boil for 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • After 15 minutes of cooking check temperature on thermometer or test small portion of jam on chilled plate, return plate to freezer for 1 to 2 minutes, remove and run finger through sample. When the jam is set you can pull your finger through it and it doesn't run back together. During testing, remove jam from heat.
  • As jam sets you will be able to see the bottom of the pot when stirring. The temperature should be about 221 degrees F.
  • Pour the hot jam into 4 sterilized 8-ounce jars, carefully wiping jar rims; cover with lids and screw bands.
  • Process in boiling water bath for 5 minutes, remove from water bath, allow to cool; check seal.

PLUM & GINGER JAM RECIPE



Plum & Ginger Jam Recipe image

Delicious version of plum jam recipe spiced up with ginger and lemon.

Provided by Magdalena

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 kg plums
1 kg sugar (white or jam making sugar)
1 medium size fresh ginger (or 4 teaspoons of ground ginger (dry version))
1 lemon

Steps:

  • Cut all of the plums into halves and remove the stones. Add everything to a large saucepan and mix in the white sugar. Cover with a lid and leave for few hours (or overnight, if you like)
  • Add the ginger and juice from one lemon.
  • Place the saucepan on a low to medium heat and gently stir the jam until the sugar has dissolved completely.
  • Once the sugar has dissolved, raise the heat slightly and bring the jam to a boil for around ten minutes, or until the jam starts to get thicker.
  • Take the saucepan off the heat and test the jam to see if reached its setting point. The way to do this is to put a small teaspoon of the jam on a cold plate and if in about five minutes the jam firms up, its ready to be potted.
  • If the testing jam hasn't firmed up in 5 minutes on the plate, put the whole saucepan back onto the medium heat and continue boiling for another 5 minutes. Repeat the test and pot up when ready.

PLUM-GINGER FREEZER JAM



Plum-Ginger Freezer Jam image

This no-cook jam captures the joy of biting into a cold, crisp plum, and the technique it employs is ideal for capturing the freshness of firm ripe summer fruit. This jam, which can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer, making it what's commonly known as a refrigerator or freezer jam, is also packed with ginger and lemon, so you'll get a bouquet of flavors in every spoonful.

Provided by Yewande Komolafe

Categories     jams, jellies and preserves

Time 10m

Yield 6 to 7 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 pounds ripe but firm plums, pitted and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 5 cups)
1 cup superfine sugar
2 tablespoons scrubbed, grated fresh ginger
2 tablespoons lemon zest (from 4 lemons)
2 tablespoons lemon juice, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon calcium powder, if needed (see Tip)
4 1/2 teaspoons powdered pectin (see Tip)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)

Steps:

  • Using a potato masher or fork, gently crush the plums in a large bowl to release some pulp and juices while keeping the fruit chunky. Toss with the sugar, then add the ginger and lemon zest and juice. Stir until the sugar dissolves. Measure the volume of your fruit mixture; you should have about 6 cups.
  • If your package of pectin comes with calcium powder, stir 1/4 teaspoon of the calcium powder into 1/4 cup water to dissolve. Set aside. Place the 4 1/2 teaspoons pectin in a stand blender, or have it measured and ready if using an immersion blender. Bring 1 cup water to a boil, then pour it into the stand blender and blend. (If using an immersion blender, add the pectin to the saucepan and blend.) The mixture should become very smooth and look like a soft gel. Stir the pectin mixture into the fruit until evenly combined, then stir in 4 teaspoons of the calcium water, if using. The jam should thicken and be softly set. Add the salt, stir and taste. Adjust after tasting with more teaspoons of lemon juice, if necessary, for a good balance of sweet and tart.
  • Transfer to clean airtight containers, cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours and up to 2 weeks before serving. Or, store in the freezer for up to 3 months; defrost completely in the refrigerator before serving.
