Plum Preserves

So I finally found some time to make the plum preserves that I had intended to make for the Honey Soy Plum Chicken. I had all these plums that I needed to use up so I found a simple recipe online: Plum Preserves Recipe and whipped it up.

cooking down the plums...

ingredients:
1 lb plums, pitted and roughly chopped
1/4 c sugar
1/4 water
1 cinnamon stick

directions:
1. In a medium pot, combine all ingredients and bring to a simmer. Stir occasionally until the end when it starts getting thicker, then stir more frequently to prevent sticking.
2. Pour into a small container, let cool. When cool, store covered in fridge for up to 1 month, give or take.

Plum Preserves

Now that I've made this, I don't see a reason to buy jelly or preserves unless you are in a time crunch. This literally was so easy and cheap.. plus the flavor is uh-mazing! I'm eager to try other fruits now (when they go on sale that is, lol)!

Enjoy!
