These plums are ripe at the end of Summer,
and are with us for only a short time.
They are excellent raw and they are even
better when cooked especially in this plum jam,
my favourite jam.
Ingredients:
4 cups chopped ripe plums
3 cups sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions:
Wash plums.
Slice plums in half and remove the pits
Chop up plums.
I remove the pits and put the plums in a food processor.
Mix the plums, sugar and lemon juice in a deep pan
Let stand 1 hr.
Bring plum mixture to a boil over medium heat,
stirring often.
Continue cooking, uncovered and stirring for
about 15-20 minutes or until thickened.
Skim off the foam.
Push it all to one side and
with a large spoon, skim it off.
The foam is oxygen that has
formed in the jam.
Pour into hot sterilized jars.
This batch makes about 5 jars.
The batch can also be doubled.
