Subj : Plum Crazy - 06 To : All From : Dave Drum Date : Thu Aug 25 2022 05:32:50 MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Plum & Raspberry Jam Categories: Fruits, Citrus, Preserving Yield: 3 servings 3 1/4 c Raspberries 3 c Pitted plums; fine chopped 1 lb 3 oz. sugar 3 tb Fresh lemon juice 2 sm Cinnamon sticks 3 Star anise pods To a large bowl, add the berries, plums, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and star anise, and toss to combine. Cover and mascerate for at least 15 minutes or up to 1 week. (If mascerating for longer than 24 hours, transfer to the fridge.) SANITIZE YOUR JARS: Set the oven @ 250+|F/121+|C. Wash three 8-ounce mason jars and place them upside down on a baking sheet, reserving your ring bands and unused snap lids. Transfer the jars to the oven and bake for at least 20 minutes. Meanwhile, make the jam: To a wide, heavy-bottomed pot, transfer the fruit mixture, then bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the bubbles are sputtering violently, the surface is glossy and jewel-like, and the jam is thick when stirred with a silicone spatula (this is the "setting point"), around 15-20 minutes. (The jam should slide off the spatula in sheets or clumps or try to cling to the spatula when you bring it to eye level. If yougCOre uncertain, pour a teaspoon of jam on an ice cold plate and place in the freezer for two minutes. Remove and run your finger through the jam. If it has formed a skin and parts evenly, itgCOs ready; if not, continue cooking 3-4 minutes more. When the jam is ready to be added to the jars, remove them from the oven and flip them over carefully. Working over the sheet pan and using a funnel or ladle, fill the jars to within 1/4" of the rim. Tap the jars gently or use an air bubble remover, then wipe the rims clean of any drips or splatters. Place the snap lids on the jars and screw the ring bands on tightly. Once filled, invert the jars for 2 minutes, then flip right side up. Set aside and do not disturb for 24 hours; if canned properly, the jam will be hot enough to create a vacuum and seal the jars closed. by Camilla Wynne Yield: makes Three 8-oz. jars RECIPE FROM: https://www.saveur.com Uncle Dirty Dave's Archives MMMMM ....
