Materials
- 5 lb plums
- 1 c water
Instructions
- Pit the damsons and mince them or put them through the meat grinder or puree in the blender or food processor, retaining as much of the juice as possible.
- Add a little water to the minced damsons and the juice and slowly bring to a boil' reduce the fruit pulp over low heat for several hours, but do not stir or the damson pulp is quite likely to scorch on the bottom.
- When the pulp has thickened somewhat, it will have to be stirred continuously for several hours, until it is literally thick enough that a spoon will stand up in it.
- It may sputter and bubble during this stage. In former days, it was usual for several families to convene in the village wash house for a cooperative 'Zwetschgenmus' cooking session, with story-telling and other impromptu entertainments to give encouragement to the stirrers.
- When the damson cheese has sufficiently thickened, transfer it to stoneware crocks and bake in the oven until a dry crust has formed on top.
- The damson cheese will keep better if a piece of parchment paper that has been soaked in rum is placed on top of this crust before the crock is sealed with plastic wrap formerly a piece of linen orparchment was used.
