  • 550g Damsons
  • 550g Golden Caster Sugar
  • 130ml Cold Water

Method:

  • Clean your damsons and then halve them all, taking out all of the stones from the centre.
  • pour them into a large saucepan and add in your water, put them on a medium-high heat and leave for around 10 minutes until you create a puree like texture.
  • Next, pour the sugar in and continue to stir until it has dissolved, now raise the heat and bring your mixture to a boil. Stir often and continue to do so for roughly 10 minutes.
  • Finally, take the saucepan off the hob and leave to stand for 5-7 minutes, then pour into your jam jars or storing pots. Store in the fridge and serve with desserts or on toast & scones!
