6 lbs of damsons, 2 lbs of sugar, some cinnamon, ground cloves and 23 hours of slow cooking. Delicious. A big thank you to my friend Lisa for suggesting I try this very interesting German recipe. It is extremely rich and full of flavour. I think it'll be a delight on toast, or served with natural yoghurt.
Posting early as tomorrow is an early start and I know that @casablanca is dying to hear about the Pflaumenmus! We are heading for a day on the high hills. A good place to be with all the Covid-19 concerns that are around our area at the moment. Our closest city, Aberdeen, 50 miles from here has just been locked down for 7 days. We're ok so far, but I wouldn't bet on it staying like that for long.
Looks a very interesting recipe...we have very few damsons on our tree this year..I shall have to buy some this year I fear. Your Pflaumenmus is a very hard name to say...
Poor Aberdeen not so good for all concerned, Iβm surprised itβs spread up there somehow a place you would think all healthy air & bracing hill walks!
I had never heard of damsons until you posted that photo the other day. It looks like to came out perfect! Now if only we had smelling and tasting on our tablets, laptops, phones etc. π
Looks good. I wonder if this could be made with most plums. Enjoy your time out. Perhpas since you're located in the "country" the lockdown won't effect you at home.
My Scottish blood so wants to try this!! I wonder if there's a way to find some around here. I'm pretty sure we don't have damsons otherwise I'd try to make it myself. It sure looks good all nicely packaged this way! Enjoy your day out and hoping all stays calm in your area.
@happypat It is hard to say! I don't know where it came from in Aberdeen, but I do know how it spread ... pubs! I have to say I can't understand anyone's desire to hang out in a pub at the moment - I'm not at all paranoid, but I'd give them a wide berth, naturally at this time. But, it's difficult for the young, I know, I bet my two are doing the same!!! And who can blame them? It's a major challenge for all, for different reasons. But let's just hope that there are no more cases out our way.
Lovely shot; am doing a lot of different plume jams and chutneys at the moment ; my plumtree has to go in October when renovations start so I try to make the most of it but this 23 hours slow cooking sounds interesting, I might give it a go with the next bunch π
