How to Make Plum Jam with Orange

Let's prepare the fruits: divide the plums into halves and remove all the bones. We will not cut plums with the foot, so that they maintain integrity after cooking. But peel the orange from the peel and cut into small pieces. Orange slices give the jam a special aroma and taste. Crusts can be thrown away, and dried and used when brewing tea in the winter.

We transfer the fruits to the container, where we will cook the jam and fill it with sugar. It is not necessary to stir the fruits, you can only shake them slightly, the crystals will melt.

After 2-3 hours, put on the stove and cook the jam over low heat. Boil the fruits and after 40 minutes of slow languishing, the jam with citrus is ready.

In pre-washed and dried jars, we spread the hot jam, filling the container to the shoulders.

Roll up the lids and let cool completely under a warm blanket. We store the jam in the usual pantry. It is important that the sun does not fall on the banks.
