Ingredients
- 500 g plums
- 200 g sugar
- 1 vanilla pod
Preparation
1. Cut the plums and remove the stones.
2. Place the plums in a vacuum bag together with the sugar and vanilla.
3. Vacuum pack at 99% using a Sammic vacuum packing machine.
4. Cook the bag in a SmartVide sous-vide cooker at 80 °C for 1 hour.
5. Chill the bag once cooking is complete.
6. Blend the mixture in a jug using an XM-12 hand blender until you obtain a smooth plum jam.
In this recipe, the sous-vide technique helps preserve the flavour, aroma and natural qualities of the plum throughout the preparation.
