- Sugar - 1.5 kg.
For orange jam and yellow plums, you need to select the most whole fruits so that there is no damage or rot. This is necessary to keep the jam as long as possible. Next, the sorted fruits are washed and dried. Ready plums get rid of the pits. Now it's time to prepare the oranges. We also wash them well, even with soap, after which they need to be scalded with boiling water.
Prepared oranges are cut directly in the peel into pieces, removing the seeds. Then we send the fruit to a meat grinder or grind it with a blender. Now mix orange puree with cherry plum and pour into enamel pan. Sprinkle them with sugar and set aside for half an hour. Over this time fruit juice will dissolve sugar crystals, and at the same time more juice will stand out. This is necessary so that the jam does not burn.
After the time has elapsed, put the pan on the stove and turn on the medium heat. When the mass boils, reduce the heat to a minimum and boil for a few more minutes until the treats are ready. During cooking, periodically you need to stir the jam and remove the foam.
Ready jam can be laid out in sterile clean jars and rolled up. Turning over the containers with jam, wrap them in a blanket for about a day. After cooling, the jam is sent for storage in a cool dark place, for example, in a cellar.
Blackthorn plum jam
This plum variety is very sweet, so fragrant jam must be made from it without fail. It goes well with just tea, and with cake and cookies. To prepare it you need:
- Plum - 6 kg;
- 4 kg of sugar.
We wash the blackthorn well and sort it out. After that, we remove the seeds from the fruit and transfer the finished fruits to an enameled pan. Sprinkle the plums with granulated sugar on top and set aside the pan to form the juice from the plums. It is recommended to leave them overnight.
For harvesting, you also need to prepare containers - sterilize the jars. The next day, put the saucepan with plums that have started juice on the stove, turning on medium heat. When the mass boils, reduce the flame to a minimum. We simmer the jam for about an hour, after which, bringing it to a boil, put it in jars and roll it up. After complete cooling, we remove the blanks in the cellar.
Cherry plum and plum jam
Cherry plum is quite sour fruit, so you will need a lot of sugar. And star anise can give some zest to jam. So, for cherry plum and plum jam, you need the following products:
- Plum - 1 kg;
- Cherry plum - 1 kg;
- Water - 2 tbsp. 200 g each;
- Sugar - 4 kg;
- 2 pcs. star anise.
Wash the fruits and cut in half. Next, turning the halves of each fruit, carefully separate from each other. It is so easy to get rid of the bones and leave the halves intact. To simplify the procedure, it is recommended to take initially ripe fruits. We transfer the finished fruits to the pan.
Next, cook the syrup separately. To do this, mix sugar with star anise and water in a saucepan and send them to the stove. The finished syrup should not contain undissolved sugar and should be clear. Pour our fruits with boiling syrup and mix the contents of the pan well.
In this form, plums are infused for about 3 hours. Next, put the pan back on the fire and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. After boiling, the jam should cook for about an hour. In the meantime, it is cooked, you can sterilize jars for blanks.
We distribute the finished treat while still hot in containers and roll it tightly. Please note that before closing the jars, you need to remove the star anise from the jam, since its role in the play is over. Happy tea!
Seedless plum jam in a slow cooker
Of course, it is easier to entrust half the work to kitchen assistants. It's so easy and quick to cook pitted plum jam in a slow cooker. To do this, we take the following products:
- Plums - 1 kg (this is already pitted);
- Sugar - 0.5 kg.
Wash the plums and cut into halves. Now it is easier to get rid of the bones. When the plums are ready, we weigh them so that there is the right amount of fruit. We also measure sugar. Pour both ingredients into a mixing bowl and mix well. Let them stand like this for about 15 minutes. During this time, the sand will melt a little, and the plum will release juice. After that, close the lid of the device and set it to 40 minutes in the extinguishing mode.
When half the time has passed, you need to open the lid and mix the contents. At this stage, you can just check how sugar has dissolved. When all the cooking time has expired, the delicacy can be distributed among the prepared jars. We send the blanks to winter in the cellar, and in due time we enjoy the amazing taste of such a simple treat. Happy tea!

- Plum - 0.5 kg;
- Gooseberries - 0.5 kg;
- 0.7 kg of sugar;
- Water - 100 ml.
For gooseberry jam with plums, we sort out all the berries, peel them from the leaves and stalks, and also remove the pits from the plums. We wash everything and divide in half. We put half of the products in a saucepan and pour water into it. Having sent a container with berries and plums to the fire, we wait until they boil. After that, cover with a lid and cook for 20 minutes until the berries become soft.
We turn the slightly cooled berries in a meat grinder or blender, if you want uniformity and cook again on the stove for about 5 minutes, not forgetting to stir. Then pour in a little sugar, again stirring the mass, and the second half of the plums and gooseberries. Cook until the mass begins to gel. Pour hot jam into jars and seal.

While stirring, wait until the granulated sugar disperses. When the syrup boils, remove it from the heat. Pour this syrup over our plum and leave it for a day.
On the second day, the plum syrup is drained into a separate container and boiled. After that, we fill them with fruits for the second time and cook together for about 1.5 hours. The finished jam will turn out quite thick, with pulp and a special aroma. At the same time, the berries practically dissolve, and the presence of seeds does not interfere at all, they are clearly visible and easy to get.

- 1 kg plums;
- Sugar - 1.2 kg.
Washed plums are cut into two halves and stones are removed from them. In a container for jam, we fall asleep plums with sugar and leave aside for half an hour. Then we put the pan (bowl, basin) on the stove and boil over low heat. In this case, you need to stir the mass all the time with a wooden spatula.
At the same time, you can do the sterilization of cans for harvesting. Boil the lids too. When the jam on the stove begins to boil, boil it for 10 minutes and remove from heat. We put the cooled delicacy on the stove again and boil again. As soon as it boils, the jam is ready. You can distribute it among ready-made banks and cork.
Jam from unripe plums
It is impossible for all harvested fruits to be equally ripe. But do not throw out green plums. If you do not need to eat them raw, then they will make excellent jam. For this jam unripe plums we take fruits and other products in the following proportions:
- Plums - 400 g;
- 2 tbsp. water;
- 4 tbsp. Sahara.
Late varieties of plums are suitable for this recipe. We wash the prepared fruits and prick each of them with a toothpick. In the process of preparing each plum, transfer them to a pot of cold water. When all the fruits are chopped, you need to change the water and send the container to the stove. By the time the water boils, all the plums will already be floating on the surface.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and set aside. When all the fruits “drown” again, we again send them to the fire, repeating the first procedure. Only this time we throw the plums into a colander. While water is draining from the drain, you can start making syrup from half the prepared sugar and 2 glasses of water. When the water with sugar in the pan boils, remove it from the heat, cool and pour the plum syrup over.
So the fruit stands for a day (you can leave it overnight), after which the syrup is drained again. Add 1 cup of sugar to it, boil and remove from the stove. Pour the cooled syrup back into the pan with the fruits. And again we leave the jam for a day. On the third day, boil the syrup for the last time, adding the rest of the sugar and already with plums.
The third cooking includes several repeated procedures - the mass boils, is removed from the heat for a couple of minutes and mixed. So we repeat 3 times. The jam is cooked over low heat. As a result, the syrup should be covered with a thin film, and the plums themselves will no longer be sour.

- Cognac - 3 tbsp. l.;
- 600 g of sugar;
- 1 tsp cinnamon.
Preparation of plums includes washing them and cutting each fruit into two parts. Thus, it is easy to get rid of the bones. Ready plums are sprinkled with sugar and set aside for 1 hour to extract juice from the fruit. To make the jam thick, there is no water in the recipe. So, we shift the infused plums into a saucepan, mix well and put on medium heat.
We periodically check the degree of dissolution of sugar. When it is almost invisible, and enough juice has stood out, we add cinnamon. Thanks to this ingredient, the jam will acquire a special flavor. After stirring the mass, bring it to a boil. After boiling, you need to periodically remove the foam. When the foam is no longer formed, and the jam itself becomes thick enough, remove the container from the stove.
Now we pour cognac there, and it can be replaced with vodka or liquor to taste, and mix again. In this form, pour the still hot jam into clean sterile jars, cork and turn over to cool. Such jam in a dark, cool place will be stored for a very long time if gourmets have patience. Happy tea!
