Ingredients
- 6 c. plums pitted and chopped
- 3/4 c. water
- 7 c. sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 1 3/4 oz package dry pectin
Instructions
-
Prep your plums by washing them well to remove any debris or dirt. Cut in half to easily remove the pit.
-
Combine plums, water, lemon juice, and pectin in a large sauce pot. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Add sugar; return to a rolling boil. Be careful of any splatters, it will be very hot - and the sugary mixture will burn you easily.
-
Boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly. Pour hot liquid into hot jars, leaving 1/4" head space. Adjust caps. Process 10 minutes in boiling water bath.
Recipe Notes
[My 2 Cents]
This recipe has A LOT of sugar. Since making it last fall, I've changed my ways and have tried to eliminate refined sugars in my diet. I plan to re-visit plum jam and provide a no/low sugar recipe for you sometime in the future. Watch for that!
