Low Sugar Cinnamon and Plum Jam

Recipe Description

If you’re looking for something to do with all the leftover plums from this season, then this Low Sugar Cinnamon Plum Jam should definitely be a must on your list.

Relying mostly on the natural sweetness from the fruit, this recipe uses 10 tablespoons of brown sugar, which if you like you can even use raw, organic sugar to make it even healthier! I love the spice that the cinnamon brings this jam too.

To make Low Sugar Cinnamon and Plum Jam, you will need the following ingredients:
