I had the hardest time finding a recipe with no added sugar. Plums are plenty sweet on their own. I have several more hours to go but it already smells amazing. Can't wait to taste it.

[@genkiferal7178]

no special jars or lids, or canning pot, no water bath...love the simplicity!

[@mikebetts2046]

Foods that are high in sugar or acidic can be canned with this simple process. I do something similar when I make jam and never have an issue with it spoiling on the shelf.

[@infinitelove3221]

I love this, healthy preservation of plums.💚

[@d993s]

Very nice! I made jam here from wild pears (the trees turned wild after they were not cared for in over 20years, pears reduced in size down to 4-5cm, but very concentrated flavour) No other ingredients, not even water! Excellent results

Looks delicious! She reminds me of my Czech Grandmother

[@cottagemommy5116]

Love the videos on food preservation. Thank you!

[@briannemorna4268]

The smell of plum jam is lovely. Good memories.

This is my second year of making this no sugar plum jam. I used the small grape plums and didn't remove the seeds until after I boiled the plums. Turned out perfect. Took a little over an hour to boil to the right consistency.

[@Peasantartcraft]

Mmmm I bet it is delicious! I don’t think we have grape plums in Romania. Are they sweet?

[@danabakalarova8155]

I'm also cooking them with the seeds, they're too small to remove them before..fingers crossed that jam will turn up the same as here in video! Thanks for presenting this way ❤🙌💫

[@megdoc1888]

Magnificent, my father would have loved it on toast with strong tasty cheese.

[@dannybodros5180]

Just like my grandma used to make!

[@marystorozuk6895]

Oh wow. Going to make this - I did a few years ago and love this video. The jam here looks like it would be amazing in baking Date (Plum) Squares.

[@bruxulaandrews5369]

I love jam, all kind of flavours! Thank you for the video and congratulaions for the lady and his plum jam! :)

[@HomesteadMercantile]

This is much like applebutter...so Plum butter is what I am going to call it when I make it! Looks delicious! So glad I kept searching until I found a "real" recipe that uses no sugar!🤩

[@Peasantartcraft]

Just make sure that the plums are well ripe and sweet. Thank you for watching!

[@estycki]

Every plum recipe I’ve seen is like 50% plums and 50% sugar, I was wondering how did people make these things before you were able to buy bags of sugar? I’m sure they were fine without the extra sugar. I will try this, but takes a lot of patience, but I have a plum tree with hundreds of plums I can’t possibly eat in a few weeks, and can’t find enough people who will help me eat them. Some nice plum jam to keep all year long sounds ideal, hopefully I can pull this off…

[@angyr2902]

I wish I have a prunes tree. I really love them.

[@HomesteadMercantile]

I went to the homepage and read that she does use a water-bath method for a few minutes after capping the jars...I was wondering about this. 😀

[@Peasantartcraft]

I am glad you found it helpful!

[@goransvraka3171]

Just plums and time!

[@josephhernandez3087]

Those are prune plums. They are oval shaped. Perfect for jam. I would've put the pits in a cloth bag and added it to get the extra pectin.❤😊

Give your main participants a microphone so you can add a clear local dialect as a voice over.

Making this as we speak

[@marieeveil410]

What is the difference with the first plums and rhe cored plums ? I didn't quite understand. Thank you i will try this recipe.

[@angyr2902]

Hi, beautiful video, I want to make some jam to have for couple years, and I want to know if I need to put something like aspirin or conservative? Thank you 🙏 🇺🇸

[@marianamedinets4977]

Where do you keep your jam?

[@Peasantartcraft]

In the larder.

[@marianamedinets4977]

Larder in Russian

[@suchadalaoprasert4255]

ใช้เวลานานเกินไป ทำไมไม่ปั่นก่อน

[@hubris1912]

Give her a lav mic next time ffs.

[@philipo5259]

That poor woman needs a pressure cooker...
