Mirabelle Plum Jam

For the mirabelle jam, rinse the mirabelles with cold water and rub dry. Cut the fruit in half and remove the stones. Cut the flesh into small cubes. Grate 1 tsp. lemon peel, squeeze out the juice. Slit the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the pulp.

Place the mirabelle plum cubes in a saucepan with the remaining ingredients – except for the alcohol. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes until bubbling.

Make the jelly test. To do this, drip some of the juice onto a cold plate. If it becomes solid, the jam is ready. If not, let the mixture boil a little longer.

Pour the mirabelle plum jam into prepared twist-off jars – remove the cinnamon stick and vanilla bean. Drizzle a little alcohol over the top, light and seal immediately. Place on a tea towel with the lid down and let cool.

Preparation Tip:

Tip: You can also use this recipe to make a fruity blackberry-mirabelle jam. Simply replace half of the mirabelles with blackberries.
