Ingredients
- 450 g plums red plums
- 1 lime juice and zest
- 6 black peppercorns
- 1/2 vanilla pod
- Sugar
Instructions

- Place plums in a pan along with the other ingredients and just a little bit of water so they don't stick to the bottom of the pot.
- Cook until the plums are completely tender and squishy.
- Remove from heat and press the pulp through a sieve with the back of a wooden spoon to get as much juice as possible.
- Weigh the resulting juice and measure out exactly the same quantity of sugar.
- Pour juice and sugar into a heavy based pan and slowly bring to the boil allowing the sugar to dissolve completely.
- Lower the heat and simmer for approximately 40 minutes until it is thickened and has reached a good set.
- Carefully ladle into a small jar and pop on the lid.
Notes
The amount of sugar used in this recipe depends entirely on the amount of juice you get
