Cost information for the following is not included. Normally this is because the quantity or ingredient is unknown
. > (American / Metric measures)<
. 6 cups [about 4lb / 2kg...(40-45)] ripe, plums *
. 1/2 cup (120ml) orange juice
. 3 cups (330g) granulated sugar
. 1 medium cinnamon stick
. 1/2 cup (120ml) Amaretto liquor **
. 1 tbsp. (15ml) pure Vanilla extract
.
. * Plums are naturally high in pectin so there's no need to add any commercially made pectin for this recipe. Tip: Although, it is important to use firm, ripe fruit...it is equally important that the over-ripe is not used when making jam. This latter will inevitably spoil your labours.
. ** Non-alcoholic version: Replace the liquid quantity with either apple / peach / pineapple juice or plain water. If possible, also add 1 tbsp. (15ml) of almond extract.
