Plum Conserve

This is delicious at the base of a steamed sponge pudding, served with custard on a cold autumn evening. Omit the rum if you prefer.

Makes about 7 x 450g jars

2kg plums

200g raisins

300ml water

1.5kg sugar

100g chopped almonds

5 tablespoons rum (optional)

1. Cut the plums in half and remove the stones. Put the stones in a pan with the water, bring to the boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. The water will be infused with flavour to add to the conserve.

2. Remove the stones and put the plums and raisins in the water. Bring to the boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 10–15 minutes or until the plums are just tender.

3. Remove from the heat and add the sugar. Place the pan over a low heat and stir until all the sugar has dissolved.

4. Bring the mixture to the boil then simmer for 10 minutes.

5. Stir in the almonds and rum, if using. Leave to stand for 10 minutes then stir and ladle into prepared jars.

6. Label the jars when cool.
