Gingered Pear-Plum Chia Seed Jam image

Summer plums, fall pears, and a nice little spicy hit of ginger. This healthier jam is naturally sweetened with a small amount of pure maple syrup (or honey) and thickened with superpowered chia seeds. Perfect for the freezer - if you can stop eating it long enough to tuck some away!

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound ripe Bartlett pears (seeds and stem removed and diced)
1 pound ripe plums (halved, pits removed, diced)
1 pinky-sized piece ginger (peeled (about 1 tablespoon diced))
1/3 cup pure maple syrup* (or more to taste)
1/4 cup chia seeds

Steps:

  • Set a medium-large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add pears, plums, ginger, and 1/3 cup maple syrup. Heat until boiling and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring frequently, until the fruit has cooked down and liquified, 25-30 minutes. Carefully mash any remaining chunks of fruit with a potato masher or fork. Taste and add additional syrup, if desired, until the jam reaches the sweetness level that you prefer. Stir in chia seeds and cook for another minute. Remove from heat and let cool enough to pour into lidded jars. Keeps in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for 2-3 months.

Provided by Domestic Gothess

Categories     Breakfast     Side Dish

Number Of Ingredients 7

400 g (14oz) (prepared weight) peeled and cored pears (chopped into small dice)
150 g (5.5oz) (prepared weight) peeled and cored cooking apple (very finely minced)
finely grated zest and juice of 1 small lemon
1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
100 ml (scant 1/2 cup) water
400 g (2 cups) granulated sugar
2 balls stem ginger (finely chopped)

Steps:

  • Place a couple of saucers into the freezer and sterilise your jars; I do this by washing them in hot, soapy water, rinsing well then placing the jars, and their lids, in the oven on a low heat until needed.
  • Place the pears, apples, lemon zest and juice, ginger and water into a deep, heavy bottomed saucepan. Bring up to a simmer and simmer gently for about 15 minutes, until the fruit is tender.
  • Stir in the sugar and stem ginger and heat gently until the sugar has completely dissolved.
  • Turn up the heat and cook at a rapid boil for about 10 minutes, or until it reaches 105C on a thermometer; stir regularly to prevent it from catching on the bottom.
  • Remove from the heat and place a teaspoonful of the jam on one of the cold saucers; pop it in the fridge for a minute then push at it with a finger, if the surface of the jam wrinkles then it is ready; if not then return the pan to a rapid boil for another five minutes then remove from the heat and check again.
  • Allow the jam to cool for 5-10 minutes, then ladle it into hot sterilised jars, seal and allow to cool. Once opened keep refrigerated.

PLUM JELLY



Plum Jelly image

Raw plums right from the tree to make jelly that will keep in a home canning jar on the pantry shelf until opened. If processing for canning then mixture should be a bit watery. The canning process will thicken the jelly.

Time 1h

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 ½ pounds fresh plums, pitted and halved
4 cups white sugar
1 cup water

Steps:

  • Combine plums, sugar, and water in a large pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Lower heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until mixture has thickened to desired consistency, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, inspect five 8-ounce jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jelly is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  • Remove jelly from the heat and skim off any heavy foam. Ladle hot jelly into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/2 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on finger-tight.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 15 minutes. Remove jars from water bath and tighten rings.
  • Place jars on a towel to cool until lids pop. Press lids to confirm the seal.

GINGERED PLUM JAM



Gingered Plum Jam image

The plums are not peeled; this produces a vibrant ruby-red color. This recipe yields approximately 4-8 ounce jars of jam. This is just the perfect amount for DH and me. A food processor is wonderful for processing the plums and if you don't have a water bath don't worry. A large pasta pot with strainer insert works wonders. The recipe comes from Cooking Pleasures.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of plums, such as red plums, black plums, and yellow plums, to create a more complex flavor profile.
  • If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use ground ginger. Just be sure to use half the amount, as ground ginger is more concentrated.
  • To test if the jelly is ready, place a small spoonful on a cold plate. If it wrinkles when you push your finger across it, it is ready.
  • Store the jelly in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.

Conclusion:

Plum, red pear, and ginger jelly is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on toast, crackers, or cheese. It is also a great way to use up leftover plums and pears. With its beautiful color and unique flavor, this jelly is sure to impress your friends and family.
