Apple and plum jam

Apple and plum jam is a classic dessert of Russian cuisine that combines the sweetness of ripe fruits with a gentle tartness. The origins of this treat date back to ancient times when housewives used seasonal fruits to prepare winter supplies. Apples give the jam softness and richness, while plums add a characteristic velvety taste. The finished jam has a thick, velvety texture and an exquisite aroma reminiscent of a cozy home and warm evenings by the samovar. It can be used as an independent dessert, added to baked goods, or spread on crispy bread. Cooking over low heat allows all flavor nuances to unfold, while sugar emphasizes the natural sweetness of the fruits, creating a harmonious blend. Apple and plum jam is a traditional taste that remains relevant from generation to generation.
