Apple & Plum Jam
Jam is probably the best way of preserving the goodness of fruits and what better than a homemade jam, without preservatives. This homemade apple and plum jam is very easy to make and gets ready with few ingredients.
Apples and plums are high in pectin. Pectin is a naturally occurring carbohydrate in fruits that is concentrated in the fruit’s skin and the core. When cooked, pectin solidifies to a gel, causing fruit preserves to set. In a similar manner you can also make Apple Jam or Plum Jam.

Ingredients (1 cup = 240 ml)
- 2 medium sized apples or about 1.5 cups chopped apples
- 3 plums
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions

- Take chopped apples and plums along with sugar in a microwave safe bowl. Cover them and microwave for 10 minutes, until apples and plums are soft and sugar gets completely dissolved.
- Take the mixture out and cool for a few minutes. Blend it to a pulp in a blender/mixer. You may either blend it completely or may also leave few chunks of apples & plums.
- Transfer the pulp in the same microwave safe bowl. Cook for 5 minutes. You will notice that jam has thickened (no need to cover). Stir once in between.
- Now add lemon juice and mix well. Again microwave for 5 minutes. There will be a frothy layer and colour of the jam would become much darker.
- To check whether jam is ready or not, put about a teaspoon of jam in freezer section of the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes. It should turn out to be thick and consistency should like be of a jam. Spread it on a plate, if it is watery cook for few more minutes.
- Allow the jam to cool completely.
- Store it in a sterilized jar in refrigerator.
