✨ In this video, I share my favorite DIY pantry organization ideas and show you how a cozy kitchen makeover in a small space can feel completely new. I also show you how to make your own homemade jam step by step, with embroidered lids to make each jar special.

🍯 Simple Yellow Plum Jam

Ingredients:
• Yellow plums – 1 kg
• Sugar – 500 g (adjust to taste)
• Lemon juice – 1 tbsp (to preserve color and flavor)
• Optional: pectin – 1 tsp (to thicken the jam)
🥄 Instructions:
1. Prepare the plums:
• Wash, halve and remove the seeds.
2. Boil the plums:
• Place half the plums in a saucepan with 1–2 tbsp water.
• Cook over medium heat until the plums are soft, stirring occasionally.
3. Add sugar:
• When the plums are soft and juicy, add sugar and lemon juice.
• Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
4. Simmer:
• Cook for 15–20 minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly.
• Optional: add pectin to thicken the jam faster.
5. Puree (optional):
• For a smoother jam, puree with a hand blender.
6. Jars:
• Pour the hot jam into sterilized jars.
• Cover and invert for 10–15 minutes to create a vacuum.

💡 Tip:
• The jam will thicken as it cools.
• Add a dash of cinnamon or vanilla for extra flavor.
• Store in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months; refrigerate after opening.
