What is Prune Jam?

Sugar-free prune jam is a healthy jam alternative prepared with natural ingredients without refined sugar. Thanks to the natural sweetness of prunes, there is no need to add extra sugar, making it a perfect healthy alternative for your breakfasts and desserts.

Benefits of Prune Jam:

Natural Sweetness: Prunes make the jam sweet thanks to their natural sugar content.

Fiber Rich: Supports digestion with its high fiber content.

Easy to Prepare: A practical and delicious recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups prunes
  • 2 cups of water
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Preparation:

  1. Prepare the Prunes: Wash the prunes and remove the seeds. Put them in a pot and add 2 cups of water. Leave to simmer over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes to soften the plums.
  2. Boil and Soften: When the plums soften, the amount of water in the pot will decrease. At this stage, add the cinnamon stick and boil the mixture for a while, stirring.
  3. Puree: Remove the softened plums from the stove and remove the cinnamon stick. Puree the plums with a hand blender. If you want a smooth consistency, you can get a more homogeneous mixture by using a blender.
  4. Add Sweetener and Thickener: Add lemon juice to the plum puree and stir. If you want, you can add vanilla extract and chia seeds to thicken the consistency. Chia seeds help the jam to have a fuller texture.
  5. Adjust the consistency: If the consistency of the jam is too thick, you can adjust it by adding a little more water. If the consistency is too liquid, you can thicken it by boiling it for a few more minutes.
  6. Cool and Store: After the jam has cooled, pour it into glass jars. Store in the refrigerator after cooling at room temperature. Sugar-free prune jam keeps its freshness for 1 week in the refrigerator.

This Sugar Free Prune Jam is a delicious and healthy alternative made with natural ingredients. Since there is no refined sugar added, it offers a dessert alternative suitable for your healthy diet. You can get a satisfying jam with the natural sweetness of the plums.

Bon Appetit! 😊
