Plum Jam

  

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.


Pulse a few times to chop up the plums.


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.
