Austrian Stewed Plums

Autumn is coming, in the evening the temperature is milder, daylight hours shorter and its time to harvest the fruits.

Plums are typical autumn fruits and you usually have a lot.
Amongst other recipes, we make this plum roaster, simple and keeps for a whole year.

It goes well with many warm deserts and pastries, e.g. Kaiserschmarrn.
But it also harmonizes with Grießschmarrn (A typical Austrian semolina treat), porridge, semolina flummery and the likes.

Rezept-Anmerkungen

Please note: Jars have to be very clean. I place the jars and lids in the sink and pour boiling water over. Fill plums in hot jars and close.
When a lid has “retracted”, the plums will keep well until, at least a year. Store in a cool and dark place. (e.g. in the Basement)

Enjoy preserving!
