Oven-Baked Plum Jam | Džem od šljiva iz rerne

Ingredients

• 1.2 kg plums
• 60 - 100 g brown sugar (*depends on the sweetness of plums)
• dark rum (or amaretto liqueur- optional)
• cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180º C (no fan). Wash plums, remove stones and cut into halves. Put each plum on a baking tray (I use the one that came with the oven). Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon evenly over the plums. Then sprinkle with rum or amaretto.
2. Bake for about 35-45 minutes. There is no need to bake it longer. When the sugar combines with the juice well and syrupy, the jam is ready to be taken out from the oven. If you like smaller plum parts, mash them with a fork or potato mash.
3. Pour the hot jam into sterilized jars, seal tightly and turn jars around for 10 minutes. Let cool.
4. After opening a jar, keep the jam in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

• 1.2 kg šljiva
• 60 g-100 g smeđeg šećera ( ako su šljive kiselije, stavite više šećera)
• rum ili amaretto (otprilike 50 ml- opcionalno)
• cimet

Instructions

1. Zagrijte pećnicu na 180°C. Šljive oprati, izvaditi koštice, prepoloviti. Prepolovljene šljive poredati na dublji pleh. Posuti šećerom (količina zavisi od slatkoće/kiselosti šljiva), pa posuti cimetom i rumom (ili amarettom, po želji).
2. Peći otprilike 35 do 45 minuta, dok šljive ne puste sok i pretvori se u sirup. Gotov džem možete, ako želite manje komade lagano izgnječiti viljuškom ili gnječilicom za krompir u plehu, meni tako bude još finiji.
3. Sipati u sterilizirane, tople staklenke, dobro zatvoriti pa okrenuti naopako jedno 10 minuta. Pustiti da se ohlade. Nakon otvaranja staklenke, džem držati u frižideru.
