Elements 1 kg plums 300 g sugar some cinnamon 1 Tbsp.
- 1 kg plums
- 300 g sugar
- some cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp. Water
- 1 Tbsp. Vinegar (i.e. Apple Cider Vinegar)
- Wash the plums and cut them in halves.

- Put the plums into a casserole and add the 300g of sugar. If your plums are very ripe, you can reduce the amount of sugar!
- Add 1 Tbsp. of Water and 1 Tbsp. of Vinegar and stir.
- Optional: Add some cinnamon.
- Mix plums and sugar well, then cover and let sit overnight.
- The next day, preheat the oven to 300°F/150°C.
- Stir the plums one more time, then put the casserole into the oven for 4 hours (yes, you read this right).
- After four hours remove the casserole from the oven and use the immersion blender to blend the plums to a nice spread.
- Clean and boil a glass jar or two and fill the spread into the glass, all the way up to the rim.
- Cut some cerane to the size of the lid and dip it into vinegar, then put it on top of the spread and close the lid.
- This spread will last for a long time - unless you eat it. Keep it at a dark, cool place. It will develop even more taste after a couple of days.
