I love making my own homemade condiments and this Plum Jam can often be found in my pantry. This recipe is so simple and only uses 3 ingredients and just easy-to-follow steps.
I’ve included directions for recipes that use pectin or do not use pectin, as to your preference. Serve this on some buttered toast, muffins or scones, this jam is a delightful addition.
To make Plum Jam, you will need the following ingredients:
Simmer the unchopped plums in granulated sugar and lemon juice, uncovered, until an instant read thermometer reads 220 °F and the jam is set.
Cook the chopped plums with the pectin, granulated sugar and lemon juice according to the package instructions of the pectin. Skim off the foam.
Once set, you may use a potato masher or a hand blender to chop up part of them until you reach a chunkiness of your choice.
Using sterilized jars, pour the hot jam into the jars to fill no less than ¼-inch from the top and wipe off excess on the rims. Wash the lids, place them on the jars and screw the seal ring, closed.
Boil the sealed jam jars in a water bath canner for 10 minutes. Carefully remove the jars.
Stand your jam jars, undisturbed, for 24 hours before removing the screwed seal ring and storing in a cool, dry place for up to a year.
Once opened, jam will keep in the refrigerator for at least 1 month.
