Instructions:
-
Prepare the Plums:
- Wash the Italian plums thoroughly under running water.
- Using a fork, gently prick each plum to allow the flavors to penetrate during the pickling process.
-
Prepare the Pickling Liquid:
- In a saucepan, combine the fresh ginger (peeled and sliced), chilies (sliced), clove, cinnamon stick, allspice berries, salt, sugar, and vinegar.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally until the sugar has completely dissolved.
-
Cook the Plums:
- Once the pickling liquid is ready, carefully add the washed and pricked plums to the saucepan.
- Allow the plums to cook in the pickling liquid for 3-4 minutes, ensuring they are evenly coated and infused with the flavors.
-
Pack the Jars:
- While the plums are still hot, transfer them to sterilized jars using a slotted spoon, leaving some space at the top.
-
Thicken the Syrup:
- Return the saucepan with the remaining pickling liquid to the heat and continue to boil until the liquid thickens slightly, forming a syrup-like consistency.
-
Seal the Jars:
- Carefully pour the thickened pickling syrup over the plums in the jars, ensuring they are completely submerged.
- Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean, damp cloth to remove any excess syrup.
- Seal the jars tightly with sterilized lids.
-
Storage:
- Allow the pickled plums to cool completely at room temperature.
- Once cooled, check that the lids are properly sealed.
- Store the jars in a cool, dark place for at least 2 months to allow the flavors to develop before enjoying.
Note: These Plum Good Pickled Plums make a delightful addition to cheese platters, salads, sandwiches, or enjoyed straight from the jar as a tasty snack.
