- Preparation: 20 min
- Cooking: 270 min
- Makes: 1 serving (90 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Vegan, Dairy-free, Gluten-free, Low carb
Ingredients
- 90 g Plums (Węgierka or Italian prune plums), stoned
Method
- Use ripe, sweet late-summer plums such as Węgierka (Italian prune plums). Wash them, cut them in half and remove the stones.
- Put the plums in a wide, heavy pot, cover and heat gently for 30 minutes, stirring now and then, until the juice runs and the fruit collapses.
- Uncover and cook over the lowest heat for 3-4 hours, stirring often and scraping the bottom so it doesn't catch; or set the open pot in the oven at 150 °C and stir it every 30 minutes. No sugar is needed: the fruit sweetens as it cooks down.
- It is ready when it is thick, dark brown and glossy, and a spoon drawn across the bottom leaves a path that doesn't close. (Traditionally it is cooked for a few hours a day over three days.)
- Spoon the hot plum butter into hot, clean jars, close them tightly and turn them upside down to cool.
- Spread it on bread, or use it to fill doughnuts, pierogi and pastries.
