Bread Machine Plum Jam

When plums are in season, this bread machine plum jam is quick and easy to make with just 4 ingredients.

A bread machine not only makes bread, but also jams too, and with just a press of a button!

Ingredients

This delicious, bright red plum jam requires only 4 ingredients. Fresh and ripe plums are needed. Chop them into small chunks or thin slices. Pectin is needed to make this jam which allows it to set.

Butter helps avoid bubble formation in the jam binds the jam well and gives it a glossy texture. Sugar gives the sweetness to the jam and balances the tanginess from plums and pectin.

Instructions

Place the plum slices, sugar, pectin, and butter into the bread machine pan. Select and start the "jam" cycle. The bread machine will mix all the ingredients with the paddles for a few minutes and then mix them intermittently while cooking.

Once the machine beeps and says it's done, the jam is cooked! Put on oven mitts and grab the hot pan from the bread machine.

Pour the jam into clean jars that have been sterilized. You can use regular glass jars or Ball Mason jars, whichever you have on hand. Let the jam cool down completely, then close the lid and refrigerate them.

Serving suggestions

I like to serve plum jam with

• Cottage cheese bread
• Jalapeno cheese bread
• Toast
• Seed bread
• Whole wheat bread
• Potato bread

Equipment

I made this plum jam in the Zojirushi bread machine using the "jam" cycle. Any bread machine with the jam cycle will work fine.

Storage

Plum jam can be stored in the fridge in airtight glass jars for about 2-3 months. It can also be frozen for much longer. Check out how to freeze jam.
