How to Make Vanilla Cardamom Plum Jelly
- Wash and pit the plums. Roughly chop them.
- Combine the chopped plums, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and cardamom pods in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the mixture reaches setting point (220°F or 104°C on a candy thermometer). Skim off any foam that forms on the surface.
- Remove from heat and carefully remove the cardamom pods.
- Ladle the hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving about ¼ inch headspace.
- Wipe the rims of the jars clean, and place lids and rings on the jars.
- Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude).
- Remove the jars from the water bath and let them cool completely. You should hear a popping sound as the jars seal.
- Check the seals by pressing down on the center of each lid. If the lid doesn't flex, the jar is sealed.
