RECIPE: Easy Plum Preserves

Ingredients:

2 lbs plums (seeded, rough chop)

1/2 C sugar (or to taste)

1/2 C port wine or canton ginger liquor (or water)

Cinnamon stick (optional)

Combine ingredients in a non reactive heavy saucepan. Simmer uncovered and stir occasionally. Stir more often at the end to prevent sticking and burning. Takes about an hour depending on your desired consistency. Remove cinnamon stick and cool before storing or serving.
