Plum Jam [Easy & Refined Sugar-Free]

Plum jam is a fantastic versatile recipe that is truly so underrated.

We love having it on hand for creating sauces, using it as a topping (waffles, oatmeal, nice cream), or enjoying almond butter & jam sandwiches.

You will really enjoy how easy this recipe is to make but also how much flavor it carries. Need a wonderful gift for friends & families? Homemade jam is such a great beloved present.

In this post, I also included how to make prune paste which is a different spin on the classic date paste most people in the plant-based world are familiar with. I hope you'll give it a try also.

Our plum jam and prune paste also freeze wonderfully.

Plum Jam By: The Jaroudi Family

Ingredients:

2 cups chopped ripe plums

*2 tbsp prune paste (or date paste) 1 tsp lemon juice lemon zest (optional)

2 tbsp chia seeds

Directions:

In a medium, pot add in your chopped plums. Cook on medium-high heat and mix in date paste. Make sure you stir often and bring the mixture to a low simmer. Once the fruit is cooked down (around 3 minutes) turn off the heat. Add in lemon juice (zest) and chia seeds. Stir until well combined.

Let cool completely and store in the refrigerator for one week.

Notes:

We love having plum jam on top of nice cream, oatmeal, waffles/pancakes, or anything you’d use jam for.
