In a Jam

So like I've mentioned I've gotten into the habit of cooking a LOT lately and loving every second of it. Last night, I got bored and decided to see what I can chop up and throw on the stove to simmer. And so this came out.


Have fun.


Makes about 4-6oz

2 plums sliced (I used a red plum and some fancy name plum that was super sweet)
1/2 Mango diced
Handful of blueberries
1 tbs chunky apple sauce
1/2 lemon squeezed with pulp
1 cup of brown sugar (this is totally to taste...I like mine a little more tangy than sweet so you can keep adding sugar til you can no longer taste fruit...if that's what you're into)
1 cup water

Place all ingredients into a small saucepan on medium heat and cover. Let it start boiling then turn the heat down to low so the mixture can simmer. Mix occasionally and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until you see that it thickens. Transfer the jam into a glass container and let it cool before putting it into the fridge...if it ever makes it there.

Mine didn't. It was gone. Between putting it on the baked chicken and then on some freshly made brownies and some ice cream, there was just remnants of flavor left at the bottom of the jar.

Enjoy ;)
