Jalapeno Cinnamon Plum Jam

This Jalapeno Cinnamon Plum Jam is a delightful fusion of sweet and spicy flavors. The plums provide natural sweetness, while the jalapeno and cinnamon add a hint of heat and warmth. Perfect for adding a unique twist to your breakfast or as a versatile condiment for various dishes.

Ingredients:

4 cups fresh plums, pitted and chopped
1 cup granulated sugar
2 jalapeno peppers, finely chopped remove seeds for milder heat
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

In a large saucepan, combine the chopped plums and sugar

Let them sit for about 30 minutes to macerate

Add the finely chopped jalapeno peppers, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt to the saucepan with the plums and sugar

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil

Stir frequently to prevent sticking or burning

Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the jam thickens

Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking

While the jam is still hot, carefully transfer it to sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace

Seal the jars with lids and rings

Process the sealed jars in a boiling water bath for 10-15 minutes to ensure proper preservation

Remove the jars from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature

As they cool, you should hear the lids pop, indicating a successful seal

Label the jars with the jam's name and date of preparation

Store in a cool, dark place for up to a year

Enjoy your homemade Jalapeno Cinnamon Plum Jam on toast, as a condiment, or as a glaze for meats
