Plum Butter (Pflaumenmus)

I actually only had a little more than a pound (500g to be precise), so I reduced the amount of sugar and spices accordingly (I used 150 ml /115 g of sugar - 100 ml brown sugar, 50 ml white - instead of the 175 ml it should have been, but the brown sugar looked like it was finer, and thus denser than the white one). I also used piment.

To my surprise, the plum butter was already cooked and reduced just four hours later - I guess that's because I used much less plums, but probably also because I use a small slowcooker with a hole in the lid (supposedly to prevent overcooking), while I think I can spot an Instant Pot used as slowcooker (no holes) in the photos of the recipe, so that will probably also factor in regardless of the quantity.

Tastewise, it's a solid five stars, it's addictive! I'll try to make a larger portion next weekend, let's see how that goes. And it was also wonderful that I hardly had to do anything, much easier than most other jams.
