How to Make High Dumpsy Dearie Traditional English Fruit Jam

  1. Wash and chop the apples, pears, and plums into roughly 1cm pieces.
  2. Combine the chopped fruit, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and grated ginger in a large, heavy-bottomed pan.
  3. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.
  4. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to stir frequently. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
  5. Cook the jam for approximately 45-55 minutes, or until it reaches setting point (a small amount placed on a chilled plate wrinkles when pushed with a finger).
  6. Remove from heat and carefully skim off any remaining foam.
  7. Ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving a small space at the top.
  8. Seal the jars tightly and invert them for a few minutes to create a vacuum seal.
  9. Allow the jam to cool completely before storing in a cool, dark place. Enjoy!
