Fragrant and very tasty plum jam taste very similar to Nutella, but with a slight tartness and hint of ripe plum. To bring the jam closer to the authentic taste, you can add chopped nuts to the paste - at the stage of mixing the rum into the jam. Plum in chocolate goes well with soft cheeses such as brie and camembert, toasts, buns, and cookies. Also, such plum jam is suitable as a filling for pies and pastries.
