Plum Jam in a Multicooker
Description
To make plum jam in a slow cooker, it’s best to start with softer, fresher plums. If you prefer the jam as thick as possible, firmer fruit will also work. Here is the recipe step by step: 1. Wash the plums in cold water. Break them apart by hand or cut them in half with a knife to remove the pits. 2. Put the plums in the slow cooker bowl, add all the sugar, and pour in the water. 3. Cook the jam on “Stew” mode or “Soup” mode, depending on your slow cooker model. Set the timer for 40 minutes. 4. While it cooks, open the lid from time to time and stir the jam. 5. Pour boiling water over the walnuts to make it easier to remove the skins. The skins add bitterness, so we don’t need them. 6. In the last 10 minutes of cooking, add a spoonful of cocoa and the walnuts to the slow cooker. Stir them in. 7. When the timer goes off, open the lid and let the jam cool. 8. Once cooled, the jam can be served right away or stored in sterilized jars. Serve at the table or keep it in the pantry.
