Simple recipes for making puree
Natural plum puree without sugar
The only ingredient for this dessert is plum. At the same time, it is desirable that the fruits are well-ripened and sufficiently sweet.
First of all, washed plums should be pitted. This is not at all difficult to do: each berry is cut into pieces along the “groove”, then the halves are opened and the seed is removed. Simmer the fruits until soft, adding a small amount of water to the pan. For 1 kilogram of fruit, 150 milliliters of liquid will be enough.
Soft plums are punched with a blender or passed through a fine meat grinder. To ensure that there are no pieces of skin left in the mass, it is filtered through a sieve.
The dish is ready! You can help yourself! If the puree was prepared for future use, then it needs to be simmered on the stove for another 5 minutes and packaged hot in jars.

Plum puree with sugar on the stove
If the plums are quite sour, then granulated sugar will help make the puree more palatable. The ratio of sugar to fruit is approximately 1:4.
If there are relatively few drains, then manually removing the seeds from each fruit will not take very much time. If the harvest is measured in buckets, then the work can be organized differently: whole plums are placed in a pan, a small amount of water is added, and the container is placed on the fire. The lid must be tightly closed. Boil the berries, stirring occasionally, until soft. This will take about 10 - 15 minutes. The softened fruits are transferred to a metal sieve, and they begin to grind the mass using a masher or a wooden spatula. As a result, the tender pulp will run through the grate, and the bones and remnants of the skin will remain in the colander.
Sugar is added to the puree. The mass is boiled for 7 minutes and then packaged in containers for storage.

Steps
Absolutely any plums and cherry plums are suitable for puree, be they unripe or, conversely, overripe. It’s okay if the fruit is too soft, cooking will still turn all the pulp into a homogeneous mass. Wash the fruit thoroughly cold water, remove the stalks.
Next, we need to peel each fruit and this can take quite a long time. Also at this stage you need to get rid of the seeds. Place all the pulp in a deep suitable pan.
The ingredients in the pan must be covered with sugar as shown in the photo. Adjust the quantity granulated sugar depending on how sweet your plums and cherry plums are. We won't use water: the main ingredients are incredibly juicy as is. Let the fruits sit for 10-15 minutes so that they release some juice. Place the pan on the stove and begin to cook the pulp.
Jars can be sterilized with boiling water and then dried in the oven. You can use another sterilization method.
After boiling, the puree will already acquire a fairly homogeneous mass; you will need to remove the foam from the surface of the liquid and continue to cook the puree over low heat. Over the next 30 minutes, the mass will reach the desired degree of thickness..
The lids can be sterilized along with the jars or just before rolling the jars.
Pour in even hotter ready-made puree into prepared jars to the top. Don't worry if it turns out a little liquid; after cooling and steeping, the puree will set and thicken.
We cover the jars with lids and roll them up tightly: the integrity and safety of the puree in the jars depends on this.
Place the jars upside down and cover them with a warm blanket until they cool completely.
At this point all preparations are completed. Homemade plum and cherry plum puree with sugar for children and adults is ready for the winter.
