Ingredients:
- plums (leave the skin on - that's where the pectin is!)
- sugar to taste - I started with 1 cup to roughly 6 cups of plums and added more as I was cooking it until it reached a taste I was satisfied with - roughly 2.5 cups (I used natural, unrefined, non-bleached sugar produced from raw sugar cane)
- lemon (only a quick squeeze of half a lemon - at the end of the process to keep the sugar from crystallizing)
- water (very little - just enough to cover the bottom of the pot and roughly 1/4 of the contents)
- seed the plums and cut them into fourths (again, leave the skin on)
- add all of the ingredients (except the lemon juice) and cook on medium heat until it boils
- once it starts to boil, stir the contents frequently to keep it from burning
- cook for roughly 20 minutes and then either take a hand blender or a potato masher and mash/blend the contents a bit
- squeeze a bit of lemon juice
- continue to cook and stir until the mixture reaches a consistency to your liking
- ladle into containers and enjoy!
