Step by step preparation of mashed plums with sugar without sterilization, recipe with photo:
1. For making dessert, take ripe, dense plums, without flaws and external damage. Rinse selected fruits under running water and pat dry with a paper towel.
2. Cut the fruit in half, remove the seeds and cut into smaller pieces.
3. Place plums in a saucepan and pour drinking water. It is necessary so that the plums do not burn in the first minutes of cooking.
4. Pour sugar into a saucepan and stir to distribute it throughout the mixture. Adjust the amount of sugar in the preparation depending on your taste preferences. If you use sweet varieties of plums, you can completely exclude sugar from the ingredients.
5. Place the pot on the stove and bring to a boil. Reduce the temperature to the lowest setting and simmer under the plum lid for 20 minutes until tender. Remove the pan from the heat and blend the mixture with a blender.
6. Return the plum puree to the heat and simmer the plum puree under the lid after simmering for another 10 minutes.
7. Divide the hot fruit mass into clean, sterile jars and roll up the lids. To reduce the risk of germs and bacteria getting into mashed potatoes, containers and lids are important to warm up thoroughly. If you are preparing a dessert for small children, use a small container for one serving for preparation.
Turn the canned plum puree over and place the container on the lids. Wrap the plum puree with sugar without sterilization with a warm blanket and leave to cool completely slowly. Store the workpiece at room temperature.
