Plum Butter
Ingredients
- 14-16 plums
- Water to cover
- 2-3 Tablespoons of agave/other sweetener
Instructions
- Wash plums.Pull off stems. Cut into smaller pieces and remove the pits.
- Put plums in a big pan with water to cover. Cover with a lid and boil for 30 minutes. Uncover, and simmer....then simmer alittle more. After a few hours, you’ll have mush.
- When you’re getting a pretty thick like applesauce texture, add in the sweetener and stir regularly. It will become thicker and darker in color. You know it's done when it starts caramelizing at the bottom.
- Now it's ready to eat. Store it in an airtight container.
