Ingredients

Water | 320 ml |
Sugar | 400 g |
Lemon acid | 1/2 tsp without slide |
Agar agar | 2 tsp with a slide |
Step cooking
- Pre-plums must be thoroughly rinsed and stoned. For marmalade, 1 kg of seedless plums is required. Any sort of plum can be used for homemade marmalade, but in this recipe a product from prunes is prepared.
- We will cook jelly in a thick-walled pan or cauldron without any coating. The prepared plums are transferred to a pan and pour 250 ml of ordinary water.
- We put a pan with plums on the stove and bring to a boil. After boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook the plums until they become soft. Periodically drain the plums so that they do not burn. If you don’t have enough juicy plums, you need to add about 1/2 cup more water. On average, it’s enough to cook them for 30-40 minutes.
- When the plums are cooked and become soft, we collect them with a ladle and put them in a sieve. Wipe the plums through a sieve in a deep bowl.
- Pour the resulting plum puree back into the pan and add 400 g of sugar. All mix well.
- Put the plum puree with sugar on the stove and bring to a boil over medium heat. After boiling add 1/2 tsp. citric acid without slides and mix well.
- As soon as the plum puree boils after adding citric acid, we reduce the heat to a minimum - a slight boil should be observed. The plum mass must be constantly stirred with a spatula, otherwise, everything will burn and the taste will deteriorate. Cooking takes about 30 minutes. While preparing plum puree, it is necessary to prepare agar-agar. In a small bowl 2 tsp. product with a slide of 70 ml of cool water. Mix everything well and leave for 15-20 minutes.
- The form in which we will prepare marmalade is covered with cling film folded in several layers. You can use a small baking dish or any other container of suitable size.
- When the plum puree is well respected, we pour in a thin stream the swollen agar-agar, without ceasing to stir everything. The fire remains minimal. After adding the agar-agar, cook the marmalade for another 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Ready marmalade is carefully poured into the prepared form. First we leave the marmalade to stand at room temperature until it cools completely, and when it cools down, remove it in the refrigerator. There he needs to stand for 2-3 hours until completely solidified.
- After 2-3 hours, homemade plum marmalade is completely ready. It turns out to be very tasty, it can be cut into small pieces, roll in sugar and eat a little bite with tea. It is also good to spread plum marmalade on a fresh slice of bread or cookies.
