Powidl is a type of plum stew that appears very similar to jam and marmalade. This dish is also known by various other names such as Powidel, Polish powidła, Czech povidla or powidło. Although it seems like jam or marmalade, this dish is quite different. It is not prepared by using regular gelling agents and additional sweeteners that are used in making jams. It is typically cooked for long hours just to get the required thickness and sugariness. The plums used for making this dish are always harvested as soon as first frosts.
