End of Summer in Umbria means that you've got quite a bit of fruit and vegetables on your hands.  

 My friend Angelika, who has an enchanting b&b, invited me to pick her plums and make jam promising that it would be VERY easy. To my surprise, it actually was!  Below is the recipe.
Casa Angelica B&B near Amelia in Umbria, Italy.








Two pounds of fruit yields about this much prune jam.






Prune Jam Recipe:
1. wash & cut 2 lbs. prunes into little pieces and put in a tall pot.

 2. mix together fruit pectin (i used Fruttapec to speed up the process) with 2 cups sugar and add to fruit.

 3. boil fruit for at least 3 minutes at high flame, mixing constantly.

 4. move pot away from heat and mix for 1 min. or until foam has dissolved.

 5. put boiling fruit into sterilized glass jars, close & turn over. 
leave for 5 minutes.  Wait 30-40 days before consuming.

*Qui in Umbria a fine estate, come in tutta la penisola ci si dedica a fare marmellate e conserve.  La mia amica Angelika mi ha invitato a cogliere le sue prugne e a fare marmellata.  Mi ha promesso che sarebbe stato facile da fare e aveva ragione. 
Un kilo di frutta rende questa quantità di marmellata.

 Ricetta per fare marmellata di prugne:
1. mondare e tagliare a pezzettini 1 kg. di prugne e mettere in una pentola alta.

 2. mescolare assieme Fruttapec (per velocizzare) con 500g. di zucchero e aggiungerlo a freddo alla frutta.

 3. portare ad ebollizione e bollire per almeno 3 minuti a fiamma alta mescolando costantemente.

 4. togliere la pentola dalla fiamma e mescolare per un minuto o fino a sciogliere la schiuma.

 5. mettere la frutta bollente nei vasi sterilizzati, chiudere e capovolgere per 5 minuti.  Aspettare 30-40 giorni prima di consumare.

About me

I'm a Painter.

Just like you, I enjoy finding and marveling at apparently insignificant things such as wildflowers picked on a morning walk, a local fruit right out of an orchard, or an Italian landscape especially at sunset when the colors warm up.

I love simplicity & quality and I embed these values in my paintings by using only the finest Italian oil paints and supports. When you purchase a Barragan Painting you're buying a timeless original that will last for generations. Each painting is signed on the front & back and sold with a Certificate of Authenticity.
