Ingredients

  • 3-1/2 pounds plums
  • 1-1/4 cups sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  • Split plums in half, remove pits and cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces. Do not peel.
  • Place in a 6-quart nonreactive saucepan, and add 1 cup of water and the sugar.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and cook until fruit is very soft about 20 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, puree fruit and liquid in a food processor.
  • Rinse saucepan and return puree to the pan along with allspice and cinnamon.
  • Cook over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent scorching, until thick enough to spread, 2-1/2 to 3 hours.
  • Remove from heat and let cool. Store in an airtight container.
  • I did not process (as in hot water bath canning) this fruit butter so you must keep this stored in the refrigerator.
