Plum Jam

 Though plum is available almost all spring and summer season, Jam is delicious way to remember the juicy goodness of plum. It’s easy, as it takes only two ingredients to make it.

It’s vegan, vegetarian, kids friendly!

Ingredients:
1. Plum - 7 Cups
2. Sugar- 3.5 Cups

Method:
1. Choose ripe plums to make the jam. Wash those thoroughly and dry well.

2. Thinly slice each by discarding the seeds. Add sliced plum and sugar in instant pot. 

3. Choose Sauté mode for 3 min. Keep stirring. For almost all slices, skin will be separated by now.

4. Close the lid, seal the venting. Set pressure cook mode to 1 min. Before cooking, it will take about 10 min to build the pressure. Once the timer is off, let the pressure release naturally. Another 15-20 min. Open the lid, all the plums are cooked and you will see syrup.

5. Set instant pot to sauté mode for 30 min. The syrup will start to boil almost immediately. Keep stirring occasionally; every 4-5 min. It is syrup even after 15 min, like in below picture.

In another 15 min, syrup will thicken quickly. By end of 30 min, the consistency looks like Jam. If not, you can add 2-3 min more in Sauté mode until you get consistency as shown in below picture.

6. Give it a couple of hours to completely cool down. Store in airtight container to last long. It can last upto an year. 7 Cups of Plums yield to 20 oz Jam.
