Plum and almond jam in a frying pan

Ingredients:

• 800 g ripe plums (about 8-10 pcs.)
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 0.5 tsp almond extract or Amaretto
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Preparation:

1. Halve the plums, remove the pits, and roughly chop the flesh into 1-cm-thick pieces (leave the peel on). Combine the plums, sugar, almond extract, and lemon juice in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer the plums, stirring frequently to prevent burning, until the plums are tender, about 15-20 minutes. The sweetness of fresh fruit can vary, so taste the jam after 10 minutes and add a little more sugar if needed.
2. Remove from heat and mash the plums with a potato masher until almost smooth and free of small lumps. Let the jam cool and store in clean jars in the refrigerator for up to 1 month..
