Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (pitted and chopped) Ripe plums
- 1 cup Erythritol sweetener
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 packet (about 0.25 ounces) Unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Wash the plums thoroughly under running water, then pit and chop them into small pieces.
In a large saucepan, combine the chopped plums, erythritol sweetener, lemon juice, and water.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes. Stir occasionally, using a spoon to break down the fruit further.
While the plums are cooking, dissolve the gelatin in two tablespoons of cold water, letting it sit for about 5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the dissolved gelatin until completely mixed.
Add the vanilla extract and stir until well incorporated.
Allow the jam to cool slightly, then transfer it to sterile jars or containers. Let them cool to room temperature before sealing.
Refrigerate the jam for at least 3 hours or until set. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
