Cooking plums in our own juice: the first option

Usually housewives close jams and preserves from this fruit for the winter. But a great alternative to them is a dish prepared in their own juice. It is no less tasty and healthy.

Wash the fruits thoroughly, cut them into halves and put them in dry and pre-sterilized jars. Each layer is sprinkled with granulated sugar.

The next step is the sterilization of the dish. To do this, we select a pan that is suitable for height, we cover it with a towel or a rag. We put banks on top, trying to make sure that they do not touch each other. Pour "shoulders" of water at room temperature and send to the stove. When boiling, reduce the fire so that bubbling water does not accidentally fall into the container. After a short time, the plum will drain the juice and the sand will dissolve. For this reason, the level of fullness will drop, so it's time to add fruits and sugar. After 40-60 minutes, the juice will cover all the plums, and they will pop up. We start to get the cans, roll up the lids and, wrapping ourselves in a blanket, send it to cool for at least a day. Plum in its own juice with sugar is ready.

Important nuances of the recipe described

1. If you want to get a dish with whole slices, then try to choose unripe hard fruits for its preparation, adding, however, a little more granulated sugar.
2. Depending on the type of plum, you will need from 100 to 300 grams of sugar per half-liter jar.
3. Cooking time, meaning heat treatment, ranges from 40 to 60 minutes per 0.5 liter can. But after such a long preparation, the product can be stored in a warm apartment. If the workpieces will “winter” in a cool place, then the cooking time can be reduced.
4. A jar of the volume indicated above takes approximately 0.6 kg of fruit.
