Ingredients
2poundsprune plums
1/2cupmild honey
1cinnamon stick
2whole cloves
Instructions
Wash the plums. Pit and quarter them and place them in the slow cooker.
Combine with honey and add cinnamon stick and cloves. Turn the slow cooker on high.
Stir after 3 hours and taste. If needed, add a little more honey. Take out the cinnamon stick and cloves, if you can find them.
Keep cooking until the plum butter reaches desired consistency. Mine was still very liquid after 4 hours, so I cooked it for about 6 hours.
Depending on the texture you like, you can either puree the plum butter or leave as is. I used a potato masher to mash the butter just a little bit for a medium texture.
Fill the plum butter into sterilized jars if you want to can it. Otherwise store in the fridge for a couple weeks.
