Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Syrup

In a medium pot, combine the water and the brown sugar over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the mixture comes to a boil.

Once boiling, add the raw almonds and the cinnamon sticks. Let the syrup simmer for 10 minutes, ensuring to stir often.

Step 2

Prepare the Plums

While the syrup is cooking, wash the plums, removing the pits and cutting them into halves.

Place the plum halves in a deep baking dish, spreading them evenly across the bottom.

Step 3

Assemble for Baking

Preheat your oven to 170 degrees Celsius (340 degrees Fahrenheit).

Sprinkle the ground cinnamon evenly over the plums in the baking dish.

Pour the syrup over the plums, ensuring they are well coated. Add the simmered almonds and cinnamon sticks on top of the plums.

Step 4

Bake the Jam

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour.

During baking, stir the plums gently 2 to 3 times to help ensure even cooking and to submerge them back into the syrup.

Step 5

Jar the Jam

While the jam is baking, prepare your jars by washing and sterilizing them along with their lids.

Once the jam is finished baking, carefully transfer it into the hot jars. Seal them tightly with the lids.

Servings

For a delightful breakfast treat, **spread this luscious jam over warm pancakes** or buttery toast. 😊🧇 The sweet and spicy flavor profile pairs beautifully with a dollop of creamy yogurt for a **healthy twist**. If you're feeling adventurous, drizzle it over a slice of cheesecake or mix it into your favorite smoothie for an added boost of flavor! 🎂🥤 For those cozy afternoons, enjoy a warm cup of tea accompanied by a spoonful of this homemade goodness. Whether it’s a casual gathering or a special occasion, **this jam will impress everyone!** You could even gift small jars to friends or family—after all, who wouldn’t love a taste of something homemade? 🍯🎁

Equipment

Oven-safe baking dish

A sturdy baking dish is crucial for roasting the plums evenly while retaining their shape. Make sure it’s large enough to accommodate the plums without overcrowding.
