Plum Jam with Black Tea and Cinnamon

How far are you willing to go to prove a point?

I'd go pretty far. Just my bad mixture of pride, competitiveness and a hint of suck-it-bitch-! attitude.

Anyway, here's plum jam for you. Who knew plum jams can be this good?! With cinnamon and black tea, it's no ordinary jam. (gasp!) Yea, you heard me.

Thanks to Noelia for the post here. Although mine turned out more red than purple, I assumed I'm doing it right.

 Plum Jam with Black Tea and Cinnamon

600 g Plum 

300 g Sugar

1/2 Orange juice

2 Tea bags

1 Cinnamon stick

1. Cut and core the plums. Add sugar and orange juice and let rest for at least an hour. (At this point you could opt to pulse everything in a food processor)

2. Add all ingredients and transfer mixture into a medium pot.

3. Cook the plums until mixture thickens. (According to personal preference)

4. Take out the tea bags and cinnamon stick. Sieve if desired and transfer into a canning jam.

5. Turn the jar upside down whilst jam is still piping hot. This will keep the jam in tip-top shape for 1 year if jar is not opened. Let cool.

So how far are you willing to go to prove a point?

Are we stubborn people.

Jams Up,
