Ingredients
- 2 pounds fresh ripe plums
- 0.5 cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
Step 1
Wash the plums thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or residue. Cut the plums in half, remove the pits, and chop them into smaller pieces.
Step 2
Place the chopped plums in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add honey (or maple syrup), lemon juice, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon.
Step 3
Stir the mixture until well combined and bring it to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for about 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Step 4
As the plums soften, use a masher or the back of a spoon to crush the plums to your desired consistency. For a smoother texture, you can use an immersion blender.
Step 5
Continue to cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the jam thickens to your liking. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the jam cool slightly. Carefully transfer the plum jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top.
Step 7
Seal the jars with lids and allow them to cool to room temperature on a wire rack. Store the jam in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
Step 8
Enjoy your homemade paleo plum jam spread on paleo bread, pancakes, or use it as a topping for your favorite paleo desserts.
