German Plum Butter (Pflaumenmus) made the way my grandmother did, with a simple trick for when you can't find the right plums.
Pflaumenmus is a thick, dark, spiced German plum butter. No pectin, a little sugar, just plums cooked down slowly until the flavor is deep and old-fashioned. Traditionally, you make it with Zwetschgen, a small prune plum that's hard to find at a regular store. In this video, I show you how to make it anyway, using fresh and dried plums together so you get that real, deep taste with plums you can actually buy.
I'm also making a blackberry elderberry jelly, so stay for the full preserving day.
