I look forward to cooking up this fruity spread each December, using the plums I picked and froze during summer.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds tart apples, peeled and quartered
  • 2 pounds plums, pitted and quartered
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

Directions

  1. Place apples, plums and water in a large kettle; cover and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Cool.
  2. Puree in batches in a food processor or blender; return all to the kettle. Add sugar and spices. Simmer, uncovered, for 20-30 minutes or until thickened, stirring frequently. Cool completely. Pour into jars.
  3. Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
