Notes

Recipe for sweet cocoa-plum jam

Preparation:

  1. Pit the plums (you can also peel them), place them in a pot, add the water and lemon juice.
  2. Cover the pot, place it over low heat, then cook the jam for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. After that, add the sugar and cocoa and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
  4. When the sugar has completely dissolved, add the pectin (Frukta-Żel) and bring to a boil again, cooking for about 2 minutes. Once the jam reaches the desired consistency, pour it into sterilized jars, screw on the lids and set them upside down. You can also pasteurize them.
Enjoy! ...because homemade is better!
