So, how to make Plum Jam?

Steps to make Plum Jam

1	Cook not using pectin	1h
Simmer the unchopped plums in granulated sugar and lemon juice, uncovered, until an instant read thermometer reads 220 °F and the jam is set.
2	OR cook using pectin	1h
Cook the chopped plums with the pectin, granulated sugar and lemon juice according to the package instructions of the pectin. Skim off the foam.

5	Boil jars	10
Boil the sealed jam jars in a water bath canner for 10 minutes. Carefully remove the jars.
6	Store	24h
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.
7	Refrigerate
Once opened, jam will keep in the refrigerator for at least 1 month.
