Plum jam has a pleasant taste with a slight tang, so it will definitely appeal to all sweet tooths. You can eat it with a spoon from a dish, spread it on fresh bread, or add it to cottage cheese or porridge. Moreover, plum jam can be used as a filling for open pies, shortcrust or yeast. By the way, our grandmothers loved to make such treats, and this kind of pastry would disappear in a matter of minutes. So, plum jam is definitely worth making, especially if you have delicious fruits from your garden.

Prepare the plums. Wash the fruits and cut each into quarters. Remove the seeds. Place the plum pulp in a thick-bottomed saucepan and place over medium heat.

Bring the plums to a boil, covering the pan with a lid. Stir and cook over low heat for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and puree using an immersion blender.

Add sugar to the pan with plum puree and stir. Place on the fire and bring to a boil. Skim off the foam with a spoon. Reduce heat to low. Cook the jam for 2 hours, stirring every 15 minutes.

Pour the hot plum jam into dry, sterilized jars and roll up. Turn out onto a double folded towel and let cool completely. Store in a dry, dark place.

Noodles with chicken and vegetables in a pan is a dish that combines ease of preparation with a rich, homemade taste. Tender pieces of chicken, juicy vegetables, and aromatic spices create a harmonious composition, complemented by appetizing vermicelli. Thanks to light frying, the ingredients retain their freshness and natural sweetness, and the entire dish acquires an appetizing aroma and deep flavor.

The peculiarity of this recipe is that the main course and side dish are cooked simultaneously in one pan, which significantly saves time and effort. The vermicelli soaks up the juices and aroma of the chicken and vegetables, so it doesn't require separate boiling or additional sauces. This is an excellent option for a delicious and balanced dinner when you want to cook something quick, simple, and truly homemade.

In addition to onions and carrots, you can add chopped bell pepper, green beans, or frozen green peas to the chicken.
