Plum jam is a sweet, spreadable preserve made primarily from ripe plums, sugar, and sometimes pectin or lemon juice to aid in thickening. Originating in various cuisines around the world, such as European and Asian traditions, it is a popular way to preserve plums for year-round enjoyment. Rich in antioxidants like vitamin C and polyphenols, plum jam retains some of the nutritional benefits of fresh plums. However, its high sugar content makes it a treat best enjoyed in moderation. It provides quick energy and can be paired with whole-grain bread or yogurt to balance its sweetness with fiber or protein. Homemade or artisanal versions often contain fewer additives and maintain a closer connection to traditional recipes. Plum jam adds a vibrant, fruity flavor to breakfasts, desserts, and even savory dishes, making it a versatile staple in many kitchens.
