1 cup water |
3 cups sugar |
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1 1/2 tablespoons minced, peeled fresh ginger |
2 (3 inch) pieces julienne-cut fresh lemon rind |
Directions:
1. Combine plums and water in a Dutch oven, and bring to a boil.
2. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 20 minutes or until tender.
3. Stir in sugar, juice, ginger, and rind.
4. Cook over medium heat 40 minutes, until thick or a candy thermometer reaches 210รท.
5. Stir mixture occasionally.
6. (Do not overcook or mixture will scorch).
7. Cool.
8. Discard lemon rind.
9. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks.
