Plum Preserves–Easy, fresh and natural!

 

This might actually be the easiest recipe in the world!

Plum Preserves

Here's what I used:

• 6 starting to get overripe plums purchased from nearby Fontanelle Fruit Orchard in Nickerson, NE.  Pitted, but leave skins on.
• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1/4 c. Brown Rice Syrup (could use Raw Honey as well)

Combine these items into a saucepan, bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer for about 40-60 minutes covered,  stirring and checking occasionally.

Allow it to cool and transfer preserves directly onto a toasted English Muffin slathered with real butter!  

Devour immediately.  

Enjoy!

This recipe can be experimented with in so many ways with different sweeteners, fruits or spices.  I love that there is no added sugar or preservatives.  Just fresh, natural ingredients.  Of course, you could more than triple this recipe when you have a large amount of fruit to preserve and it would be perfect for canning!
