Ingredients
Units
- ripe plums, around 3-4 pounds
- granulated sugar
- pinch of salt
- jars
Instructions
- Clean the jars by boiling them in water.
- Wash and dry the plums. Chop into small pieces, discard the cores.
- Weigh the prunes and add 800 grams of granulated sugar for each kilo (kg) of plums. Stir and let stand refrigerated overnight or for two hours on the counter, stirring every 15 minutes.
- Place the mixture in a large pot, add a pinch of salt, and cook over high heat until it bubbles; lower the temperature so it continues to boil gently.
- Since it stops frothing, cook for 5-10 minutes until it has the desired texture.
- Taste it: put a teaspoon on a plate and refrigerate it for a few minutes.
- Carefully package hot, cover, let cool, and refrigerate or freeze.
