How To Make Plum Jam Without Sugar and Pectin

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey adds natural sweetness while brown sugar enhances flavor.

pectin

🥗Healthier: chia seeds

💰Cheaper: cornstarch

Chia seeds provide natural thickening and fiber.

In a small saucepan, heat the water and sweetener over medium heat until the sweetener dissolves.

Add the chopped plums with the seeds and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer.

Stir occasionally.

Continue cooking over low heat until all the fruit has dissolved, the color deepens, and the jam thickens.

When it's done, you can remove the seeds, but I prefer to keep them.

Store the jam in a clean glass jar, let it cool, then close the lid and refrigerate.
