With this convenient method its possible to keep some summer preserved for the hard times in Winter.

Like a lot of us, my grandma is the one that has set the first milestones for my love for food. She thaught me so much and inspired me for ancient recipes and preservation methods.

How you do it :

1. First, start off with sterilizing the glasses you want to use. Do this by heating water in a big pt and cook the lits and the jars for around 5 min. Try to touch them as minimal times as possible afterward. (keep the water in the pot afterward for later)
2. Wash the plums, cut them in half and take out the pit.
3. Bring the Water and the Red Wine with the anis, vanilla bean (cut open and scratch mark in) and the cinnamon to a boil.
4. As soon as it starts to bubble, add the sugar and stir until it has dissolved. Take out the spices.
5. Place the plums close next to each other into your prepared jars & add as many liquid until the plums are all covered.
6. Heat the water in the pot again & place the filled jars plus their closed lits into it. The glasses should be covered 2/3 with water. Bring the water to simmer and let them sit for 20 min.
7. Let them cool and check wether they are fully closed by checking the lits by pushing the middle. If it makes a cracky noise, they are not closed.
