A delightful twist on the classic plum jam, adding a hint of citrus for a refreshing flavor.
Wash the plums thoroughly and remove the pits.
Ensure the plums are ripe for the best flavor.
Chop the plums into small pieces.
Uniform pieces help in even cooking.
Place the chopped plums in a saucepan and add the sugar.
Stir well to coat the plums with sugar.
Squeeze the juice of the lemon into the saucepan and mix.
Lemon juice enhances the flavor and helps in setting the jam.
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.
Use a wooden spoon to prevent sticking.
Pour the hot jam into sterilized jars and seal tightly.
Ensure the jars are sterilized to extend shelf life.
