900g plums, halved and stoned
100g strawberries, tops removed and halved
3/4 pint water
1tsp of mixed spice
1kg of jam sugar (pectin contained)
knob of butter
Put a couple of ceramic plates in fridge.
Put fruit,water and spice in pan over a low heat until softened and reduced.
Add sugar, mixing all time, stir until sugar has dissolved.
Once dissolved, add knob of butter, turn heat up and bring to a rolling boil.
Boil for 10mins, remove from heat and test on a plate, if you can push your finger thru and it doesn't move straight back into place it's done.
If not ready, return to heat and boil for another 5 mins, it was ready after 10 for me.
before putting into sterilised jars, remove scum from top with slotted spoon.
this made 5 medium sized jars full
