Ingredients

2 Kg Ripe Plums

10 Tablespoons Brown Sugar

2 Cinnamon Sticks

Instructions

Wash, half and de-stone all the plums. Cut them in halves again

Place the halved plums into a large heavy bottomed pot. Add brown sugar and the cinnamon sticks

Cook on medium heat for 20 minutes or until the fruits have softened, stirring occasionally.

You should run the plum mixture through a sieve. The sieve should not be too fine as you will only get the juice but what you need is all the flesh but not the skin. I used a slotted spoon since my mesh was too fine. Place the plum mixture on the slotted spoon and use a flat spoon to press the plum mixture through

Pour the cinnamon plum mixture back to the pot. Cook for a further 40 minutes until yo see that the mixture has thickened

Pour or spoon the cinnamon plum jar into a sterilized jar, seal with a lid and consume within a week
