Plum Jam with cinnamon/Pflaumenmarmelade mit Zimt

I wanted to post this for a long time but somehow something was always more pressing. Do you love cinnamon? I do. I manage to add it to many things that I have a huge jar full of cinnamon in my pantry. I am known for sneaking into the kitchen and sniff on the jar. Yes, that’s me. Well, here we go.

Plum Jam

1kg of plums
1 heaping teaspoon of Saigon cinnamon
Dr. Oetker canning sugar 3:1 or your favorite pectin brand
With 3:1 I only need 300g sugar

Cut the plum in pieces and cook them over medium heat with the sugar amount per your pectin brand. Mine only needs 300g of sugar. Cook until pectin and sugar are dissolved. Pour mixture through a sieve to get rid of the skins and then back in the pan. Add the cinnamon and cook for a couple of minutes. Use clean jars and fill them to the top but leave a little bit of space. I boil the jars in a water bath for approx. 15min to sterilize the jars. In addition I turn the jars upside down to seal. Enjoy!

Pflaumenmarmelade mit Zimt

1kg Pflaumen
1 gehaeufter Teeloeffel Saigon Zimt
Dr. Oetker 3:1 Gelierzucker
300g Zucker

Pflaumen in kleine Stuecke schneiden und mit Zucker und Gelierzucker aufkochen. Die Masse durch ein Sieb geben, um die Pflaumenhaut zu entfernen und wieder zurueck in den Topf geben. Zimt unterruehren und erneut aufkochen. Marmelade in vorbereitete Glaeser fuellen. Ich hab sie dann noch einmal fuer ca. 15min ins Wasserbad gegeben und anschliessend die Glaeser auf den Kopf gestellt, um sie zu versiegeln.
