– 3 kg plums

– 2 kg brown sugar

– ½ l red wine vinegar

– 1 tbsp white peppercorns

– 1 tsp coriander seeds

– 1 tsp cumin seeds (kumīns)

– 2 cloves

– 1 chilli, seeded and finely chopped

Preparation:

1. Core the apples, cut into pieces, remove the pits from the plums. Place everything in a saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 3 hours (until the consistency of jam).

2. If the mixture is too thick, add ½ liter of water. Pour into sterile jars, sterilize, then close with lids and store in a cool place (the jam can be stored for several years).
