The other day we bought two varieties of pluots for jam making purposes.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The color of the peel gives a hint to the color of the pluot inside.<\/p><\/div>\n

One of the pluots has a deep almost maroon colored flesh, and the other is a bright yellow-ish orange.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"First<\/a>

First step is to drop them into boiling water and let them sit until the peel begins to split. Then fish them out and drop them into a bowl of ice water.<\/p><\/div>\n

They feel very slimy at this point but oh so much easier to peel.<\/p>\n

\"Remove<\/a>

Remove the peel and cut the fruit into little pieces, then add sugar and a bit of lemon juice.<\/p><\/div>\n

I knew I wouldn’t have time to finish the jam that day, so I prepared the fruit and covered the bowls with plastic wrap and put them into the fridge. The lemon juice keeps the color from changing.<\/p>\n

\"Then<\/a>

Then simply cook the fruit and sugar down until it is the consistency I want.<\/p><\/div>\n

I decided to use an immersion blender on my fruit so that it would be a smooth jam.<\/p>\n

\"Finished!<\/a>

Finished! I ended up with three small jars for each variety.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
