- Wash and sterilize canning jars before starting. Place in warm water so jars will be warm when filling (can use the same boiled water). Recipe may be doubled.
- Wash plums well. Place into a large pot with sugar and water and bring slowly to a boil. A heavy bottomed pot works best and is less likely to scorch.
- Continue stirring till all of the sugar has completely dissolved.
- Turn to high heat and cook about 15 min (watch carefully and don't allow to scorch, reducing heat if necessary). Cook till it nearly reaches a gelling point, continuing to stir frequently. When mix has thickened skim foam from the top.
- Remove from heat and ladle mix into warm 1/2 pint jars, leaving 1/4" of headspace. Tighten caps and process in a boiling water bath canner for 15 min.
- Remove from canner, allow to cold where there are no drafts.
- Don't tighten seals or possibly touch lids after processing. Check seals after jars are completely cooled; if the domes are not down after 5-6 hrs, put which jar into the refrigerator and use right away (don't store).
