Plum Jam Recipe
3 lbs. purple or red plums (about 22 plums)
3 cups granulated sugar
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
Halve, pit and coarsely chop your plums. I find it easier to chop them in a manual food processor once I have them chopped in quarters.
In a large stock pot, place 4 cups of chopped plum pulp with your 3 cups of granulated sugar and lemon juice. Stir the three ingredients together and let stand for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Turn on the burner and bring the mixture to a full rapid boil and boil it uncovered for 16 minutes or until syrup sheets off a metal spoon.
Remove mixture from heat and quickly skin off any foam that developed. Ladle jam at once into hot and clean... half-pint sized canning jars, leaving a 1/4" head space. Wipe jar rims with a clean cotton towel and adjust lids.
Process jars in a boiling water bath canner for 15 minutes. This recipe will make 4-5 half pint jars.
