Plum and Earl Grey jam

Hey everyone, it is John, welcome to our recipe page. Today, we’re going to prepare a distinctive dish, plum and earl grey jam. One of my favorites. This time, I am going to make it a bit unique. This is gonna smell and look delicious.

Make a pot of tea using the tea bag and water. Plums are in season, and we have been busy thinking up more ways to use them. We were inspired by Heidi Swanson's Rosewater Plum Compote a couple weeks ago, and we set out to make our own plum sauce.

Plum and Earl Grey jam is one of the most popular of recent trending foods in the world. It is enjoyed by millions daily. It is easy, it’s fast, it tastes yummy. They are nice and they look fantastic. Plum and Earl Grey jam is something which I’ve loved my entire life.

To begin with this recipe, we must first prepare a few components. You can cook plum and earl grey jam using 5 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.

The ingredients needed to make Plum and Earl Grey jam:
  1. Make ready 450 g plums, stoned and quartered
  2. Make ready 100 g caster sugar (you can use jam sugar but I'm not entirely convinced it's necessary)
  3. Get 1 lemon, juiced
  4. Make ready 1 Earl Grey tea bag
  5. Take 250 ml water

So we spent pretty much an entire day making various peach jams from the fresh peaches that Meg and Cale had just picked from an orchard. Turns out plum jam with Earl Grey might be even tastier than plum jam with cinnamon. I have the plum cinnamon jam on my morning buttered toast and I think "wow!" Then I have the other on another slice of buttered toast and, at that point, I officially can't decide. I used plum jam, but you can use whatever flavor you'd like.

Instructions to make Plum and Earl Grey jam:
  1. Make a pot of tea using the tea bag and water. Leave it to brew for at least 15 minutes - you need it to be undrinkably strong.
  2. Place all the ingredients in a large pan and bring to a moderate boil.
  3. Simmer gently for about half an hour. Observe the beautiful jewel-like colours developing in your pan.
  4. Test the jam using Nigella's clever saucer method (test a teaspoonful on a cold saucer, place in fridge for 30 seconds, if the jam wrinkles when pushed by a finger the jam is set. If not repeat this process every 5 minutes until the jam wrinkles.)
  5. Remove from the heat, then carefully pour the jam into sterilised jars (4 or so should do it, and I normally run jam jars through the dishwasher before drying them in a low oven - do this while the jam is cooking, removing your jar just before you need it.)
  6. Seal, label and store. If your jam is reasonably well set you can leave it for quite some time - I have a jar a year old that's still good. Less well set jams should be stored in the fridge and eaten quickly.

For fun, I also infused the extra cream I had left over with some of my favorite Earl Grey tea to make Earl Grey infused whipped cream. The flavor is subtle, but it gives the entire dish a little something-something extra. Customize your favorite store-bought jam with orange zest and Earl Grey tea. Spread plum jam mixture in an even layer over crust in other pan. Place dough cutouts decoratively over jam.
