Yield 3 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 1/3 cups coarsely chopped plums (from about 1 1/4 pounds)
1 (1-inch) piece ginger (about 1 1/2 ounces)
1 1/3 cups sugar
1/4 cup BallĀ® RealFruitĀ® Instant Pectin
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom

Steps:

  • Bring plums and 1 cup water to a boil in a medium saucepan, then reduce heat to low and simmer until plums begin to soften and liquid is reduced by about half, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, finely grate ginger, then squeeze juice into a small bowl; discard pulp.
  • Combine sugar and pectin in a large bowl. Add plum mixture, lemon juice, pepper, cardamom, and 1 tsp. ginger juice (discard any remaining juice), then stir constantly for about 3 minutes to activate pectin. Using a potato masher or fork, break up any large plum pieces, then let cool at least 30 minutes.
