Line 1:

'''Powidl''' (or ''Powidel'', from [[Czech language|Czech]] ''povidle'') is a [[plum]] [[stew]]. Unlike [[jam]] or [[marmelade]], and unlike the [[German language|German]] ''Pflaumenmus'' (plum puree), powidl is prepared without additional [[sweetener]]s or [[gelling agent]]s.

Powidl is cooked for several hours, in order to achieve the necessary sweetness and consistency. The plums used should be harvested as late as possible, ideally after the first frosts, in order to ensure they contain enough [[sugar]].
