Ingredients

  • 3-1/2 pounds plums
  • 1-1/4 cups sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Split plums in half, remove pits and cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces. Do not peel.
  2. Place in a 6-quart nonreactive saucepan, and add 1 cup of water and the sugar.
  3. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and cook until fruit is very soft about 20 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat, puree fruit and liquid in a food processor.
  5. Rinse saucepan and return puree to the pan along with allspice and cinnamon.
  6. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent scorching, until thick enough to spread, 2-1/2 to 3 hours.
  7. Remove from heat and let cool. Store in an airtight container.
  8. I did not process (as in hot water bath canning) this fruit butter so you must keep this stored in the refrigerator.
