Ingredients
For cooking you will need:
- ripe plums - 2 kg;
- sugar - 1 kg;
- ground ginger.
Main product selection
First of all, it should be noted that even overripe plums are suitable for preserves according to this recipe. However, if among the fruits there will be a lot of green, then this can negatively affect the taste, give it bitterness. That is why jam in a slow cooker from plums is prepared from soft fruits that taste sweet or slightly give sourness.
Preparation
First you need to thoroughly rinse the fruits, and then let them dry. After that, they should be cut in half, while removing the stone. It’s better to spend a little time on it, but then you don’t have to bother with them when eating, worrying about the integrity of the teeth.
Cooking
It should be noted that jam in a slow cooker from plums is prepared without adding water. This is due to the fact that this device is equipped with a good cover that fits snugly to the body, keeping steam inside. Therefore, you just need to put the fruits in a container, cover them with sugar and let stand for about an hour. During this time, the fruits will have to let the juice, and jam in the slow cooker from the plums will receive the necessary moisture.
Next, you need to set the extinguishing mode or any other function corresponding to the given thermal process on the device. The heating timer is set for an hour and the "Start" button is pressed .
After this time, open the lid of the device, checking the consistency of the products. At this stage, plum jam in a slow cooker will look like syrup in which dense pieces float. Then a small amount of ground ginger is added to the container , everything is thoroughly mixed and the lid is closed.
Next, you need to cook the jam in the same mode, but for forty minutes. If after the allotted time the fruit density is unsatisfactory, then the whole process can be slightly prolonged. However, do not stretch it very much, otherwise it will turn out jam.
Billet
Many recipes that tell you how to make jam from plums suggest rolling it into cans, asserting that it will taste better this way. This opinion is erroneous, since it is better to use it fresh, and preserve it only for long-term storage.
To do this, the hot dish needs to be poured into sterilized jars and closed with special lids. Then the containers are turned upside down and put in a warm place for uniform cooling. Such blanks can be stored for a rather long period and used both independently and in the preparation of various desserts and pastries.
