When talking about jams, the most popular are strawberry or apricot, but my favorite has always been the plum jam, which reminds me of when I was a girl. Apart from the classic flavors, jams are very curious and original, myself, when I finish refining the recipes, I will share an onion and vanilla jam and a rhubarb and ginger. For now, I share this recipe for raw plum jam.
The jam is a very typical and ancient recipe, which finds its roots (at least in Europe) in Ancient Greece and in the Roman Empire; Both civilizations, in fact, already used to cook the fruit with honey or sweet wine, to create jams that were preserved much longer than the fruit. Of course, it is not possible to speak of jam as we know it today, until at least the 7th century, when Arab expansion brought sugar to Europe.
