Ginger Plum Jam Canning
Ginger Plum Jam Canning is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for preserving the sweet and tangy flavors of plums. This recipe is perfect for those who love the taste of ginger and want to add a little bit of spice to their jam.
To make this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
- 4 cups of chopped plums
- 2 cups of sugar
- 1/4 cup of lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon of grated ginger
To start, combine the plums, sugar, lemon juice, and grated ginger in a large pot. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 30 minutes, or until it thickens and becomes jam-like in consistency.
While the jam is cooking, prepare your canning jars by sterilizing them in boiling water for 10 minutes. Once the jam is ready, carefully ladle it into the jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top. Wipe the rims of the jars clean and seal them with the lids and bands.
Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes, then remove them from the water and let them cool on a wire rack. Once the jars have cooled, check the seals to make sure they are tight and store them in a cool, dark place for up to a year.
This Ginger Plum Jam Canning recipe is perfect for breakfast or as a topping for desserts. The jam has a beautiful deep red color and a sweet and tangy flavor with a hint of ginger spice. It is a great way to use up a surplus of plums and make them last all year long.
