In reply to Loretta Caskey. Typically that means it needs to cook down a bit more.

What do you do if the plum butter is still rather runny after the alloted cooking time?

In reply to Barbara. Yes, you'll just need to stir it more often to make sure it doesn't stick on the bottom. That's how our grannies did it.

In reply to Amanda. You can blend and then cook. The cooking just deepens the flavor.

Hello and thank you for the recipes. I was wondering, when you are making the plum jelly and then using the plum solids to make plum butter, do you still need to have the plums in the cockpot for the 2 hours or can I just blend and then let cook for the 6-8 hours? Thanks again.
