How to Make Plum Jam With Lime And Ginger
- Wash and chop 4 pounds of ripe plums. Roughly chop 1-inch piece of fresh ginger and finely grate the zest of 2 limes. Juice the limes.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the chopped plums, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of light brown sugar, the chopped fresh ginger, lime zest, and lime juice (about 1/4 cup). Stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Continue boiling rapidly for 10-15 minutes, or until the jam reaches setting point (a spoonful dropped onto a chilled plate wrinkles when pushed with a finger).
- During the last 15 minutes of cooking, stir frequently to avoid burning. Reduce heat to medium to maintain a gentle simmer if necessary.
- Remove from heat and skim off any foam that has formed on the surface.
- Ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe the rims clean.
- Process the filled jars in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude).
- Remove jars from the water bath and let cool completely. You should hear a satisfying 'pop' as the jars seal. Store in a cool, dark place.
