Step-by-Step Instructions for Slow Cooker Plum Butter
  1. Begin by washing and halving 8 cups of ripe plums, taking care to pit them as you go.
  2. Transfer the pitted plums into your slow cooker and add 1.5 to 2 cups of organic sugar and 1/3 cup of lemon juice.
  3. Tie 5-7 reserved pits in cheesecloth or muslin and include them in the mixture. Set your slow cooker to low.
  4. Cook uncovered for 8 to 10 hours, stirring occasionally until reduced by half into a rich velvety sauce.
  5. Once cooked, carefully remove the cheesecloth bag and blend until smooth.
  6. If canning, sterilize jars ahead of time and ladle warm plum butter, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  7. Process jars in a water bath for 10-15 minutes to ensure shelf stability.
  8. Cool jars completely, check seals, and store in a cool, dark place for up to a year.
