Zubereitung von Old Fashion Yellow Plum Preserves
- Wash and pit 4 pounds of yellow plums (or Italian plums). Roughly chop the plums.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the chopped plums, 4 cups of sugar, and 1 cup of water. Stir well to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Continue to boil until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and cook rapidly, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Cook for approximately 15-20 minutes for a syrup-like consistency, or 25-30 minutes for a jam-like consistency. Use a candy thermometer to check for the desired consistency. (Jelly stage for jam is typically 220°F.)
- (Optional for adults) Stir in 4 tablespoons of brandy.
- Remove from heat and skim off any foam.
- Carefully ladle the hot preserves into sterilized jars, leaving ½ inch headspace.
- Wipe the jar rims clean, and seal with lids and rings.
- Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (for pints) or 15 minutes (for quarts) to ensure safe sealing.
