Instructions

Remove seeds from pre-processed (washed and dried) plums. Grind the fruits using a blender or cut them into halves.



If you decide to make jam with pieces of plums, add sugar for a couple of hours. If you opted for puree, skip this stage and go straight to cooking. Place the juiced fruit mixture in a saucepan, mix with granulated sugar and cook over medium heat for 20-25 minutes.



Mix cocoa with sugar, grate the chocolate on a coarse grater and add to the jam. Wait for the mixture to boil, reduce the heat slightly and cook for another quarter of an hour, without stopping stirring.



Pour the thick jam into sterilized jars, close the lids and leave under a warm blanket, bottoms up, for a day.



This jam can be stored until next year and even longer, but an open jar should be eaten within a month. However, this delicacy will not stay in your refrigerator.

If desired, you can add cinnamon, vanillin, and cloves along with cocoa. The most daring housewives experiment with ginger and chili pepper or highlight the taste of chocolate with a couple of spoons of cognac. The last ingredient, by the way, will not prevent children from enjoying this sweetness, since high temperatures will cause the alcohol to evaporate, leaving behind an additional rich and interesting taste note.

Jam with nuts

If you want to try a more complicated recipe, add a new, pleasant twist to it by slightly changing the list of ingredients. You will need:

• 1 kg plums;
• 500 g granulated sugar;
• 150 g chocolate or cocoa powder;
• 100 g nuts to your taste;
• cinnamon or vanilla.

Replace nuts with dried fruits or add a delicious mixture of them to jam

1. Sort the plums, wash them, cut them into halves. Remove the seeds, place the pulp in a deep bowl and cover with sugar. Leave until the sugar begins to dissolve in the released juice.
2. Peel the nuts. Heat the kernels in a frying pan or in the oven (3-5 minutes) and chop finely. By the way, it is easier and more convenient to use a mortar for the same purpose or grind the nuts using a powerful blender, since pieces that are too large will crunch on the teeth, which not everyone will like. But don’t get carried away by trying to grind the kernels into powder: anyway, when cooking finely, the pieces will soften.
3. Place the container with plums on the fire. If there is not enough juice, add its volume using any other fruit juice or water.
4. Bring the mixture to a boil, remove from the stove and let cool. There is no need to stir the jam!
5. Repeat the last step as many times as necessary for all the juice to evaporate and the fruit mass to boil down.
6. Before putting the pan on the stove for the last time, add nut crumbs, chocolate or cocoa to it.
7. Roll the jam into sterilized jars, turn the bottoms upside down and keep under a blanket until it cools completely.

The most patient and persistent housewives can change the cooking technology and “stuff” plums with their tops cut off with whole nut kernels. Further, the cooking process is no different from what has already been described, except that it will require you to be even more careful when it comes time to mix the plums with chocolate. But what an impression the dessert will make on your loved ones!

Chocolate plum jam

The jam needs to be boiled thoroughly

If you prefer thicker jam, which is so convenient to spread on a morning sandwich, you will have to tinker a little longer. But it's definitely worth it!

You will need:

• 2 kg plums (washed and pitted);
• 1 kg granulated sugar;
• 150 g butter;
• 100 gram bar of good chocolate or the same amount of cocoa powder.

1. Cover the plums with sugar overnight or grind them using a blender and combine with granulated sugar in a saucepan.
2. Without stopping stirring the plum pulp for a minute, bring it to a boil over high heat, and then reduce it to medium and cook for about an hour. Do not forget to remove the sweet foam that appears on the surface of the brew from time to time and monitor the overall liquid level! Your future jam should reduce by about a quarter.
3. Add butter and cocoa to the mixture. (Some experienced cooks advise mixing the powder with butter in advance or leaving some of the sugar for this purpose, otherwise you will have to grind the cocoa lumps in a saucepan for a long time and persistently).
When preparing, you must remember: gelatin is diluted in warm water, agar-agar - in cold water.

For the next recipe, stock up on a bag of gelfix (20 g), pectin (10 g) or other gelling agent. The marmalade you will get is very elastic, tender and amazingly tasty.

You will need:

• 1 kg plum;
• 500 g granulated sugar;
• 50 g each of dark chocolate and cocoa powder;
• any gelling agent.

1. Wash the plums, remove the seeds, cut the pulp into slices.
2. Cover the fruit with sugar and leave for 4 hours, or preferably overnight. Before cooking, the sugar must be completely dissolved in the plum juice.
3. Place the mixture over medium heat and cook until boiling, stirring the mixture from time to time.
4. Prepare gelatin or other product according to the instructions on the package.
5. Meanwhile, the plums should boil. Skim off the foam, add cocoa and grated chocolate to the pan and cook for another 20 minutes.
6. Remove the jam from the heat and let cool slightly. Stir in the gelatin, pour the almost finished marmalade into sterilized jars, close the lids and refrigerate.

Dessert “Plums in chocolate”

Adding a little milk to chocolate will make it less thick.

And finally, a very simple recipe.

You will need:

• several plums;
• dried apricots, prunes, nuts;
• 100 g chocolate.

Melt the chocolate in a water bath. Very carefully remove the pit from the plums and replace it with dried fruits or a nut kernel. Place the fruit on a toothpick and dip into chocolate. Insert the free end of the toothpick into a suitable support: an apple, a watermelon rind, a strip of foam - as long as it is stable. Let the chocolate cool and the dessert is ready.

Plum jam with cocoa and hazelnuts

Do you like chocolate with nuts and pleasant fruity sourness? Then there is nothing easier than preparing an excellent treat at home by boiling plums with the addition of whole or crushed hazelnuts or almonds! The richest and sweetest jam will be made from fully ripened plums of late cultivated varieties. If you want to use wild plums, then add more sugar because wild plums are more acidic.

• Granulated sugar – 0.5-0.7 kg.

2. Next, you need to remove the pits from the plums by cutting them in half.
3. Place the plum halves in an enamel pan or in a large enamel bowl in which you will cook the jam. Cover the fruit with sugar and wait 2-3 hours.
4. Lightly toast the hazelnuts or almonds in a dry frying pan. Then the nuts can be crushed into crumbs or left whole - whichever you prefer.
5. Start cooking the jam when all the sugar is almost completely dissolved. At the very beginning of cooking, you can add half a glass of water to the container with the plums so that the jam does not burn immediately.
6. Bring the plums and sugar to a boil and skim off the foam. Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool completely. After cooling, leave the plums to soak in the sweet syrup for 2-3 hours and repeat the cooking process.
7. Repeat the process of cooking plum jam at least 3 times so that the plums are cooked, but not mushy.
8. During the last cooking, add cocoa powder and nuts to the plum (as well as vanilla and cinnamon if you plan to flavor the jam with spices), boil the jam and cook for 5 minutes, stirring lightly.
9. Next, turn off the heat and pour the jam into sterilized jars. Also use sterilized lids for hermetically sealing jars.
10. Let the jam cool completely and store the jars in the cold.

Having tried chocolate jam for the first time, you will want more and more and again and again to try different options.

You can also add zest with the help of flavorings: not only the usual vanilla, but also play with the tastes of cinnamon, nutmeg and alcoholic ingredients (liqueurs, cognac, rum).
