Ingredients:
4 pounds ripe purple-skinned plums, pitted and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 24 plums) |
1 cup water |
3 cups sugar |
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1 1/2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger |
2 (3-inch) strips julienne-cut lemon rind |
Directions:
1. Combine plums and water in a Dutch oven, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 20 minutes or until tender. Stir in sugar, juice, ginger, and rind. Cook over medium heat 40 minutes, until thick or a candy thermometer reaches 210°. Stir mixture occasionally. (Do not overcook or mixture will scorch.) Cool. Discard lemon rind. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks.
