Kevin has commented that he has not got enough plums to make preserves so ‘we will make traditional apple and plum ‘butter’.

The end result is a stiff, sliceable preserve. Keeps years! ideal for sponge cakes as it is fairly ’solid’, does not run.’

Thanks Kevin – that sounds good so here is a recipe for apple & plum butter:

Ingredients:

3 lb Apples
1 lb Plums
¾ lb sugar to each pint of pulp

cinnamon can be added when cooking the fruit

Method:

Cook peeled, cored & chopped apples in a little water until soft.

Add stoned plums to the apples, cook until soft.

Push the pulped mixture through a nylon sieve.

Add ¾ lb sugar for every pint of pulp.

Bring the pulp & sugar mixture to the boil.

When setting occurs and pour into heated jars or pots immediately.

Cover the pots.

Serve apple and plum butter on:

  • biscuits
  • sponge cake
  • toast
