Ingredients

To make the Sugar-Free Plum Jam, you will need the following ingredients:

4 cups of ripe plums, pitted and chopped
1/4 cup of honey or another sugar substitute (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon of salt

Instructions

Follow these easy steps to create your own healthy batch of plum jam:

Start by washing the plums thoroughly. Remove the pits and chop them into small pieces.
In a large saucepan, combine the chopped plums, honey (or your chosen sweetener), fresh lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Bring it to a gentle boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes. Continue to stir to prevent sticking. The jam will start to thicken as it cooks.
After simmering, check the consistency of the jam. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can mash it with a potato masher or blend it lightly.
Once it reaches your desired consistency, remove the jam from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Transfer the jam into sterilized jars while it’s still warm. Seal tightly and let it cool completely before storing it in the fridge.

This delightful Sugar-Free Plum Jam is perfect for spreading on toast, dolloping on yogurt, or using as a filling in pastries. Enjoy a taste of summer all year round, with the luscious flavors of plums and a hint of cinnamon. Whether you’re serving it at breakfast, brunch, or as a sweet snack, this jam is sure to impress!
