Notes

Recipe for chokeberry and plum jam

Preparation:

To keep chokeberries from being astringent, we recommend freezing them in the freezer for at least a few days beforehand. Wash the fruit. Pit the plums. Transfer to a pot and sprinkle with sugar. Cook over low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly. When the jam starts to thicken, add the lemon juice and Frukta-Żel. Transfer the hot jam into clean, sterilized jars. Pasteurize for 20 minutes. Set upside down to cool. This recipe we’re sharing today will dispel all your doubts!

Enjoy! ...because homemade is better!
