Well! I over-cooked the plum butter; so much for my grand schemes and peacock-like vanity. It is so firm that it is more like candy than jam or butter. Sheesh. I followed the instructions, which indicated to cook it until it thickened, about 45 minutes. Well...my judgement of the appropriate thickness was after more like an hour and a half. Sheesh, again.
Needless to say, we were severely disappointed when Squeeze pulled it out tonight to spread on toast. Let's just say that there was no spreading. The stuff was unspreadable. I guess we all make mistakes, especially at the beginning of our journeys. Hey, hey, hey, that's me! Vain as a peacock and as silly as a goat.
Yesterday was 30 weeks. Only a couple of months to go!
What if you stuck it in the blender with some water or white grape juice?
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea! I could heat the jar up in a pan of hot water (so as to not burn out the motor) and then water it down a bit.
