Plum jam with vanilla and cardamom
45 min
Ideally you use a sugar thermometer for this recipe but if you don't own one, let the consistency of the jam be your guide. Spoon a little jam on a chilled plate. If it sets, the jam is done, if it is still runny, cook it a few minutes longer and test again.
