Receta Plum Jam
It's that time of year again~ Time to dust off the canner and get busy in the kitchen making jams, jellies, pickles and tomatoes. This year I was fortunate enough to get my hands on some plums, courtesy of my neighbor lady, Jodi. Some days it pays to go for a walk:) She suggested that I make jam with the plums. So following her instructions, that's exactly what I did! Thanks Jodi!!
Plum Jam
- Yield: 3 pints
- 5 cups coarsely chopped plums
- 3 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup water
Combine plums, sugar and water in a large saucepan. Bring slowly to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Cook rapidly to gelling point. As mixture thickens, stir frequently to prevent sticking. Remove from heat. Skim foam if necessary. Ladle hot jam into hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Adjust two-piece caps. Process 15 minutes in a boiling water canner.
