Plum & Cinnamon Jam Squares (Homemade Marmalade Style)
For this recipe, I used about 12 medium red–black plums (around 500–600 g, pitted).
Here’s what you’ll need:
• 12 plums (red/black variety, pitted – about 500–600 g)
• 1 ¼ to 1 ½ cups sugar (250–300 g, adjust depending on sweetness of plums)
• ½ cup water (100 ml)
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon (or a small cinnamon stick, removed later)
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
Cut the plums and cook them with water until soft, then mash into a puree. Add sugar and cinnamon, let it simmer on medium heat, and stir until thick and glossy. Finally, stir in lemon juice, pour into a square dish, cool, and refrigerate until set – then slice into delicious plum & cinnamon marmalade squares.
