Take
a cartload;-), i.e. 500 g of wild plum
a cartload of refined sugar or honey
100 g sloe fruit
8 cl of plum spirit
1 scroll cinnamon
1 knifetip cardomom
1 knifetip nutmeg
1 knifetip black pepper
Cook on low heat for about an hour, until reduced.
Remove the foam constantly, stir constantly.
When reduced, boil to at least 75 degrees Celsius. Add the spice.
Before filling into vacuum jars hot, add the plum spirit, stir thoroughly. When filled in, turn the jars upside down for about five minutes. Let rest to cool.
Oh, and those are some of my exploits of the last weeks: Apple gelée, blackberry jam, elderberry gelée.... winter will be rich this year, and I am right grateful for it.;-)
Those are the adventures of Mr. Fimbulmyrk, in bushcraft and blacksmithing, mountainbiking and hiking, reenactment, writing, singing, dancing, stargazing and having a piece of cake and a coffee. Pray have a seat and look around you, but be warned - the forest´s twilight is ferocious at times.
