Plum jam with spices

I just came back yesterday. I was spending a very, very long week-end in Montpellier. So lucky ! However summer and holidays are … definitely over … Once again, it was too quick … I hope that we will still have few more nice days before fall comes.

For my own comfort, I am most of the time laying on my couch in front of the TV under a large blanket or in a warm bath reading. Anyway this is always something related to “warm” or “sugar” 🙂 !

Speaking of which … Jam is one of my favourite sugar. That’s the best. On top of some bread, croissant, in a yoghurt or a tart … It goes with everything ! Almost …

I hope that you will like this jam as much as the mother of my best friend loved it 🙂 ! I made it for the Bataille Food #26 organised by Florence du blog Un “Flo” de bonnes choses. If you want to know more about this food contest, read the French version of this post :).

And you will find below the recipe.
