Equipment

Ingredients

  • 18 oz red or black plums
  • 12 oz peaches
  • 4 oz coconut nectar
  • 8 oz honey
  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 Tablespoon roasted ginger
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 2-3 " sprig fresh rosemary

Instructions

  • Peel the peaches.
  • Slice peaches and plums (no need to peel the plums) into sections around the pits and place into your pot.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients.
  • Heat over medium heat to bring to a boil.
  • Keep at a low boil until the fruit is very soft, about 25 minutes.
  • Remove the sprig of rosemary, and run the rest of the mixture through the medium disc of your food mill.
  • Return to the pot and continue boiling until thick and jammy, another 20-25 minutes.
  • Taste and adjust any seasonings.
  • Pour into clean jars, and store in the fridge for up to 3 weeks.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

You may use all honey if you don't have or cannot find coconut nectar.
You may leave your jam chunky if you prefer. Just don't run it through the food mill. Note that there will be more plum skin in the jam.
Since this jam is not made for canning, you can play with the amount and types of sweetener you use. Let your palate be your guide.
Other herbs that would work well in this jam include thyme and Herbes de Provence.
