Stone fruit jam (plum or peach)
Two ingredient recipe for making jam from stone fruits without peeling or using pectin
Ingredients
- 4-5 plums or peaches about 1 pound
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice (for peach jam)
Instructions
- Wash the stone fruits. Remove the pits and cut them into small pieces.
- Put in a saucepan with ¾ cup of sugar (and lemon juice if making peach jam). Bring to a boil (bubbling evenly throughout, not just the edges) then simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
- Stir frequently to prevent burning. Let it cool completely to room temperature. Repeat this process a second time.
- For extra smooth filling, use an immersion blender after the first or second boiling.
- Boil, completely cool and re-boil the jam again. Let it cool completely. The jam will thicken naturally without pectin or other thickeners.
Notes
This process takes a long time so be prepared to do this step at least a day before you need the filling.
