About this Recipe
By: Marija
When stored properly in sterilized jars with a tight seal, your plum compote can last up to 6-12 months in a cool, dark pantry.
Once opened, keep it in the refrigerator, where it will stay fresh for 2-3 weeks.
If you prefer longer storage, you can freeze the compote, where it will remain good for up to 6-8 months.
Always check for any signs of spoilage, such as off smells or mold, before using.
Ingredients
- 1 kg plums, pitted and quartered
- 200 g sugar
- 500 ml water
- half a teaspoon cardamom
- half a teaspoon cloves
- 1 cinnamon stick or half a teaspoon podwer
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Wash the plums, pit them, and cut them into quarters.
Step 2
Place the quartered plums in a pot.
Add water and sugar.
Add half amounts of cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon stick.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to let it simmer gently.
Let the plums simmer for about 20 minutes until they are soft and juicy. Stir occasionally.
Step 4
Pour the still-hot compote into the jars, then place the lid on tightly to create a vacuum seal as it cools. This helps preserve freshness and prevent spoilage.
