Plum-apple jam

6 servings

60 minutes

Plum-apple jam is a fragrant, velvety treat with a slight tartness that captures the hearts of sweet lovers. The roots of this recipe trace back to European preservation traditions, where the combination of apples and plums creates a rich flavor and dense texture. Plums add depth to the jam while apples provide gentle sweetness. A delicate hint of lemon acidity highlights the fruity bouquet. The jam is perfect as a standalone dessert, as a filling for pastries, or as an accompaniment to cheese and hot drinks. It not only delights the taste but also preserves a piece of warm summer days in every spoonful. A jar of this jam is comfort and nostalgia hidden in an aromatic thick mass.
