Pickled plums perfectly complement many meat and fish dishes. They can be served with a barbecue or a cheese plate with a glass of wine. Plums are spicy and unusual. They will take pride of place on the table along with olives, black olives and sun-dried tomatoes.

Step by step cooking recipe

At the bottom of 2 pre-sterilized jars, lay out equally the bay leaf, cloves, both types of peppercorns and cinnamon.

Rinse the plums and fill the jars with them. I advise you to choose dense, slightly unripe fruits, because it is they who, in the finished pickled form, will turn out to be especially tasty. Variety “Hungarian” is perfect.

Boil water and pour boiling water over plums in jars up to the very neck. Cover the jars with sterile lids and leave for 15 minutes to warm up.

Then pour the water from the jars into a saucepan, add about 100 ml of clean water, salt and sugar. Stir and bring to a boil.

Enter the vinegar, mix and remove the marinade from the heat.

Pour plums in jars to the top with boiling marinade. Banks immediately roll up, turn upside down, wrap and leave to cool completely. Store cooled pickled plums in a cool, dark place.
