The Plum
Plums (Prunus species) are a diverse and ancient stone fruit belonging to the Rosaceae family, known for their range of colours, flavours, and textures. These fruits feature a smooth, delicate skin and a juicy interior that surrounds a single central pit. The colours of plums vary widely depending on the variety, from deep purple to vibrant red, rosy, pink, green, and golden yellow. Their rounded shape is often accented by a natural groove running along the length of the fruit.
Plums offer a broad spectrum of flavours, ranging from sweet tart to mildly spicy, with some varieties offering a subtle acidity that adds complexity. The texture of the flesh can also vary, from firm and crisp to tender and melting when fully ripe. This wide variety makes plums a versatile fruit, perfect for both fresh consumption and culinary applications, especially jam-making.
Our Plum Jam
At Nyanza Estates, our plum jam captures the vibrant flavours and textures of handpicked plums, harvested at their peak of ripeness. We select only the finest fruits from our orchards, ensuring that each plum used in our jam is bursting with the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. The rich colours and intense flavours of our plums make for a jam that is as beautiful as it is delicious.
Our jam is crafted by combining plums and sugar, simmered to create a luxurious texture with chunky pieces of plum that provide a satisfying bite. The natural tartness of the plums is tempered by the sweetness, offering a delightful balance that excites the palate. Every spoonful reveals the succulent flesh of the fruit, preserved in its most flavourful form.
As with all our jams, our plum jam is made in small batches in our nut-free kitchens, using steam-jacketed stainless-steel pots. This process allows us to preserve the full, fresh taste of the fruit without the need for artificial colours or flavours. We focus on highlighting the natural texture and flavour of the plums, ensuring each jar of jam is filled with the wholesome goodness of hand-prepared fruit.
