In plum season, it’s worth stocking your home pantry with jars of plum butter. In this form, these delicious fruits are perfect as a spread for homemade challah or sweet yeast buns. Plum butter tastes great with pancakes, cheeses, and various kinds of cakes. Don’t forget about it when preparing holiday gingerbread in winter! Everyone — both young and old — will love it, so it’s a must-have in your kitchen!
Recipe for plum butter
Preparation
Wash the plums, pit them, and cut them in halves. The best ones for this are very ripe, soft, and already slightly wrinkled. Mix the plums with sugar and set aside for about 2 hours. When the fruit releases juice, place it in a wide, heavy-bottomed pot and begin to cook it down slowly, uncovered, over low heat, stirring frequently for about 3–4 hours. Transfer the hot plum butter to jars, seal, and pasteurize for 20–30 minutes.
