Maple Pluot Butter Recipe (plumcot butter)
This maple pluot butter blends fresh pluots and maple syrup, cooked down to a thick, spreadable fruit butter. The balance of sweet and tart depends on the pluots' ripeness and syrup amount, finished through slow simmering and testing for proper thickness. It offers a rich, fruity spread perfect for toast or baking.

Instructions

- To test if the butter is ready, place a teaspoon of the butter on a plate and put it into your fridge for 5 minutes. If it is thick, it is ready.
- Test the butter for sweetness. If needed, add the extra maple syrup and simmer until it thickens.
