Plum Jam - EDC - remove the pips first - kniki

[Thermomixer]

kniki put this tip under Jams etc- but you may want to make a note in the book

I made the plum jam from the new Everyday cookbook and it turned out great.  I did add half a packet of Jam Setta just to be sure, as it was my first time with making jam.

I would suggest taking the pips out of the plums first, though.  I followed the instructions which said to take the pips out at the end, but they were so crushed up that even though I strained the jam through a colander, there are still tiny bits in there.  I will eat it myself (it's yum!!) but I won't give it to anyone else just in case they break a tooth.

Thanks for the tip. I'm brilliant at breaking teeth on anything.  I have lots of expensive crowns to prove it.
Perhaps you could take the seeds out very early in the cooking, would that work? I look forward to your advice as I've really got into jam making and would like to do plum jam.

I reckon there is no way around the old fashioned way of just cutting it out before yoiu start.

I made this jam and cooked on reverse speed 2 for the full cooking time and then scooped the pips out in the last 10 minutes of cooking time.  I did cook it for a while longer on Varoma to get the consistency I was after.

Oh -    ... maybe that would have made the difference!
