Plum jam

Ingredients

1.5 kg of plums
350 ml water
3 cinnamon sticks
3 cm fresh ginger
1kg sugar
2 Tbsp butter


Preparation
 
Wash, halve and core the plums.

Put the halves of the plums in a large saucepan with the water, the cinnamon sticks and the peeled ginger...

...and let it cook for about half an hour.

Then remove the cinnamon sticks and ginger and press the plum pulp through a sieve as carefully as possible, collecting the liquid.

Then melt the butter in a saucepan, add the sugar and the reserved liquid and let it cook until the jam thickens (approx. 10 minutes).

Pour directly into glasses that have been rinsed with boiling water and allow to cool. Then store the finished jam in a cool, dark place.

By the way, in Iceland it is customary to eat jam with cheese!
