Spicy Pepper Plum Jam

Ingredients

  • 8 cups plums, pitted
  • 3 Thai peppers
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 6 cups sugar

Method

  1. Place the plums, Thai peppers, and water into a blender and process until smooth.
  2. Pour this mixture into a large cooking pot and add the sugar.
  3. Gradually heat the contents, stirring continuously until all the sugar has fully dissolved.
  4. Once dissolved, increase the heat and boil the jam briskly until it reaches the gelling stage.
  5. Stir the jam often as it cooks and thickens to stop it from catching on the base of the pot.
  6. When the gelling point is achieved, take the pot off the heat and ladle the hot jam into prepared sterilised jars, leaving a 1/4 inch gap at the top.
  7. Secure the lids and process the filled jars in a water bath for 15 minutes.
