To begin making the Plum Jam recipe, wash and cut the strawberries into small pieces. Prep all the ingredients and keep ready. You can also add dry ginger or in inch cinnamon stick for taste
Place all the ingredients into a large pot on low heat. Keep stirring till sugar melts.
Once the sugar melts, turn the heat to low and simmer with occasional stirring for 2.5 hours approximately until the sugar feels little sticky. Ensure you do this process on the lowest possible heat.
It takes a slow simmer for the entire mixture to get a jam like consistency.
Mash lightly at this stage and simmer for another 10 minutes and you will notice the plum jam has thickened and the sugar is very sticky too.
Turn off at this stage. The plum jam will thicken while it cools down.
Allow the Plum jam to cool completely. Bottle up and refrigerate for 3 to 4 months.
