1. 1

   Wash the plums, cut them in half lengthwise with a kitchen knife and remove the stone. Place the plums, cloves, stick cinnamon and about 15 plum stones in a heavy, undamaged roaster.

2. 2

   Add 100 g sugar and stir everything. Cook in the preheated oven (electric: 150 °C/ gas: level 1) for 30 minutes. Add 75 g sugar at 30 minute intervals and stir in with a spatula or a new wooden spoon.

3. 3

   Let the plum puree boil down for about 4 hours. Cut circles from parchment paper to the size of the jars. Wash glasses or stone pots thoroughly and dry with a clean tea towel.

4. 4

   Place a filler ring on the glasses. Pour the plum puree hot into the jars. Pull parchment circles briefly through the rum and place them on the jam. Moisten the preserving cellophane and place it on the glasses.

5. 5

   Close tightly with string or rubber bands. Makes approx. 6 glasses of 375 g each.
