Chai Spice Plum Jam<\/h1>\n

This Plum Jam is one of my favorites. You can spread it generously on freshly toasted bread or warm croissants for a comforting breakfast or snack. Incorporate it into your baking by using it as a filling for pastries, tarts, or thumbprint cookies to infuse a rich, spiced flavor. It can also be paired with cheeses like brie or goat cheese on a charcuterie board for a sweet and savory contrast. You can even mix it into plain yogurt or oatmeal for a unique twist, and let all the chai spices<\/a> work their magic.<\/p>\n

The great thing about making small batches of this plum jam is you can use what you have – even 2-3 plums; remember the ratio of fruit is equal to the ratio of sugar \u263a\ufe0f<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/span><\/p>\n

1:1 ratio of fruit to sugar e.g.
\n300g Plums
\n300g Sugar
\n1tsp chai spice (ground cardamom,cloves, cinnamon)
\n10ml lemon juice<\/p>\n

Method:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Roughly chop plums and add to a small pot with sugar, lemon juice and ground spices.
\n2. Simmer on medium heat until it reaches 104 degrees Celsius.
\n3. Sterilize a jar and fill with hot jam, seal lid tightly and refrigerate after opening.<\/p>\n

Tips: You can leave the skins on your plums but if you want your jam to be clear and not cloudy it\u2019s best to remove them.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t have a thermometer, you can check soft ball stage by either using some iced water or putting a saucer into the freezer and testing blobs of jam to see if it makes a soft ball with your fingers.<\/p>\n
