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.
