Here’s a tempting glimpse of the sugar-free plum jam you’ll be making:

Ingredients

To whip up this delightful jam, you’ll need the following ingredients:

4 cups of ripe plums, pitted and chopped
1 cup of water
1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons of chia seeds (for thickening)
Your choice of natural sweetener (optional, to taste)

Instructions

Now that you have all the ingredients ready, follow these simple steps to create your sugar-free plum jam:

In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped plums, water, and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the plums have softened. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
Remove the pot from the heat, and use a potato masher or fork to mash the plums to your desired consistency. If you prefer a smoother jam, you can blend the mixture using an immersion blender.
Add in the ground cinnamon and chia seeds, stirring well to combine. If you chose to use a natural sweetener, add it at this stage and adjust it to your taste.
Let the mixture sit for about 10-15 minutes. The chia seeds will absorb some of the liquid and help the jam thicken.
Once your jam has reached the desired thickness, transfer it to a clean, sterilized jar. Allow it to cool before sealing it with a lid.

This sugar-free plum jam can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. It’s perfect as a spread on toast, filling for pastries, or even mixed into yogurt for a delightful snack. Enjoy your homemade creation!
