Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 283, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 November 1910 — Plum Butter. [ARTICLE]

Plum Butter.

Wash the plums well, drain and cook without water, until soft; use an equal amount of sugar to the amount of plum. Cook very slowly on the back of the stove until thick and rich. Many object to plum butter on account of its being too strong, but to remedy that one-third apple sauce, which has been put through a sieve, may be added tc two-thirds plum, thus making the plums go farther and also getting rid of that sharp taste. 801 l the plums til! the skins crack in water with a spoonful of soda, to remove the tang.
