RecipesCanning Plums
Canning Plums has a long tradition in our country, as we somehow consider plums our fruit. Even though that is not the case. Plums probably originate from the Caucasus, however, they have become quite domestic in our basin. And that is why canning plums is so popular. You can find the recipe for canning plums a bit further down, but this fruit can also be used to prepare several other popular dishes – plum dumplings, plum preserves, plums are also dried or used to make plum brandy.
For canning plums, it is essential that the fruit is of good quality and not bruised. The sweet syrup is added to the jars only after it has cooled down, and when placing the plums in the canning jar, try to stir them a bit with a skewer to prevent the skin from cracking and to help them absorb the sugary syrup better.
