Cooking Instructions
- 1
Wash and halve the plums leaving the stones in. I like to crack some open and add some of the kernels found inside them here. The stones also contain pectin which helps the jam set. We'll skim the jam later so don't worry about leaving the skin on and stones in
- 2
Put the plums, kernels and water in a pan and simmer for around half an hour until the fruit is soft and liquid has reduced a bit
- 3
Add the sugar and keep stirring well to dissolve. Boil rapidly until the setting point is reached, skimming the top as required to remove the stones and skin
- 4
To check the setting point, pour a teaspoon of the jam onto a cold plate. If the jam wrinkles when you push it along with your finger, that's it ready. If not, keep boiling but check again in a few minutes
- 5
Have sterilised jars ready.Wash them in hot, soapy water then put them in the oven on the lowest setting for 15 minutes. Pour the jam while still hot into the warm jars. Fill to a half cm from the top. Put a circle of wax paper on top, then a dampened piece of cellophane held in place with an elastic band if you don't have a lid. Otherwise just the wax paper and lid.

Label with the date. Makes around 2kg / 5lbs of jam

Variations: Add 12 tsp ground ginger or 1/2 tsp of dried lavender flowers (or to taste). Try swapping out half of the plums for apples. Swap half of the plums for 450g / 1lb figs, the zest and juice of 1/2 an orange and 1/2 a tsp each ground cloves and ground cinnamon (reduce water by half). For a lovely autumn/winter spiced plum jam like shown in this photo, add 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon and a pinch of ground nutmeg

Ginger Jam with Apples Ginger Jam with Apples
I wanted to add some apple juice to my shogayaki, but since it's a waste to buy it, I made it myself.This is great as a secret ingredient in dishes such as curry, tsumire fishballs, and in dressings, etc.Adjust the amount of sugar depending on the sweetness of the apples.The apples are already sweet, so if you use about 20% of the weight of the ginger and apples for the sugar, it will be quite sweet. Adjust the amount depending on the food you will use it in.The ginger is spicy, so be sure to adjust to taste. Recipe by Ringo Ringo.
