Low sugar, no pectin! Fresh taste!

Let’s make strawberry syrup and jam!

There are many ways to make ume plum jam, such as adding the sugar at the start and simmering the whole plums but if you do that, you may throw out some of the sugar with the stones, and it also makes it harder to pass the jam through a sieve. If you use this method, I think you only need to cook the jam for the minimum amount of time, and you'll also only add the minimal amount of sugar. I simmered the jam 500 g at a time in an enameled pan. This cuts down on the overall cooking time, and I had jam in two colors, which made me happy.Change the water 3 to 4 times for hard green plums, and 2 to 3 times for ripe plums, and they will become tender. Don't bring the water to a boil to prevent the plum skins from ripping. Add 70 to 80% of the weight of the plums in sugar. I think it's best to add more than 350g of sugar for every 500g of green plums. This jam becomes quite stiff when cold. When it changes color after 15 minutes of simmering and becomes thick and limpid, try dropping some of the jam in cold water. If it stiffens up it's done. Recipe by commeline

By special request.After my last recipe for plum & almond cake (check it out here - https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/2346832-plum-almond-cake-with-rosewater-icing), I had lots of requests by email to share my plum & earl grey jam recipe…So here it is!

I make jam to use up my plums leftover from making umeshu.It's easy to make and it's packed with plenty of umeshu flavor.For this recipe I used our family's umeshu, using plums from a 3-year-vintage batch.In Step 2, they can be roughly chopped as shown. They will soften and become syrupy once heated.In Step 5, if you overcook the jam, it will harden when it cools, so be careful.The alcohol will remain after cooking, so this is not to be served to children.

I came up with this recipe after 9 years of experimentation. I wonder if the mulberry tree in the courtyard of my alma mater is still bearing fruit.Since snipping off the stems does not remove the part that is inside the berry, I've discovered this method. Since the berries are separated from the stem, there's no need for a blender or food processor. Recipe by Iguanano egao

My mother gave me some homemade ume plum jam, so I turned it into this pie.The gooey jam that seeps out when it's just baked is so good!Adjust the amount of jam filling depending how sweet it is. Recipe by Ruitan

Homemade jam: easy to make :)

I was wondering if I could make jam with dried prunes, and I tried making it.Once the mixture cools, it thickens, so please be careful not so simmer for too long! Recipe by Ringono recipe

My son had a day off today in lieu of parent's day on Saturday. I wanted to give him a freshly baked snack, and so I made this with ingredients on hand. It turned out so nicely that I posted the recipe here.The cookies won't be nicely browned, since they only use a minimum amount of oil and sugar. For best results, if you have time, chill the dough in the fridge once it comes together and shape it. I baked them immediately, but they turned out nicely. Recipe by chikappe
