This "butter" is cooked slowly until it is concentrated and deep red. It makes a wonderful breakfast, served with toast.

Yield Makes 3 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 1/2 pounds plums
1 1/4 cups sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Split plums in half, remove pits, and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Do not peel. Place in a 6-quart nonreactive saucepan, and add 1 cup water and the sugar. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and cook until fruit is very soft, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat; puree fruit and liquid in a food mill or food processor.
  • Rinse saucepan and return puree to pan along with cardamom and cinnamon. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent scorching, until thick enough to spread, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Remove from heat and let cool. Store in an airtight container.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my plum butter turned out really bitter. I guess I'll have to try a different recipe next time.

This recipe is a waste of time. My plum butter never thickened, even after hours of simmering.

I followed the recipe exactly and my plum butter turned out way too thick. I had to add a lot of water to thin it out.

This plum butter is a bit too tart for my taste, but I think it would be great on toast or pancakes.

I've made plum butter several times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The addition of cinnamon and nutmeg really takes it to the next level. I also love that it doesn't require any pectin. It's so easy to make and it always turns out perfec

This plum butter is absolutely delicious! I used a mix of red and black plums, and the flavor is just perfect. It's tart and sweet at the same time, and it has a lovely thick consistency. I can't wait to use it on toast, pancakes, and waffles!
