Tips:

  • Choose the right plums: Use ripe, firm plums for the best flavor and texture. Avoid plums that are too soft or bruised.
  • Prepare the plums properly: Wash the plums thoroughly and remove the pits. If you want to remove the skins, you can blanch them for a few seconds in boiling water, then transfer them to an ice bath. You can also leave the skins on, which will give the conserve a more rustic texture.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to prevent the conserve from burning.
  • Cook the conserve slowly: Bring the conserve to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. This will help to develop the flavor and prevent the conserve from becoming too thick.
  • Stir the conserve frequently: This will help to prevent the conserve from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
  • Test the conserve for doneness: The conserve is done when it reaches a thick, spreadable consistency. You can test this by spooning a small amount of the conserve onto a cold plate. If it holds its shape, it is ready.
  • Store the conserve properly: The conserve can be stored in a cool, dark place for up to a year. You can also freeze the conserve for up to 6 months.

Conclusion:

Plum conserve is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. It can be spread on toast or crackers, used as a filling for pies and tarts, or added to yogurt or oatmeal. It can also be used to make a glaze for ham or chicken. No matter how you choose to use it, plum conserve is sure to be a hit. With its sweet and tangy flavor, plum conserve is a great way to enjoy the taste of summer plums all year long.
