Prune Jam, Mermelada de Ciruela Pasa
Prune jam ideal to use as spread or as a filling for cakes and cookies.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound prunes (455 g)
- 1 pound sugar (400 g) may be more or less to your taste
- 4 cups water (946 ml)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla (optional)
- 1 ½ Tablespoons lemon juice (20 ml)
Instructions:
1. Clean and soak prunes overnight. I buy them seedless but if yours are not seedless, it is much easier to remove the pits the day after hydrating.2. Drain the prunes and place them in a pot with 4 cups of water. Cook over medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes or until prunes are soft.3. With a hand blender or fork mash the prunes. Add sugar and lemon juice, leave on medium-high heat (20-25 minutes) stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until thickened or until desired consistency is obtained. It thickens more when cooled.4. Store in sterilized jars or leave to cool to use as a filling in cakes or cookies immediately. Notes:
Leave it overnight in water to hydrate, this helps to soften faster, meaning less cooking time, but is not necessary. You can wash, drain and cook at once without hydrating.
