Now you can make your own Homemade Plum Jelly. Most people don’t know this, but the difference between jam and jelly is that jelly is made from the juices of fruits, only, and jam is made from crushed or puréed fruit. That is why this recipe suits my family just perfectly with no excess fruit bits for them to fuss over.
I just spread it on their sandwiches for school and they’re good to go! Enjoy it insides baking recipes or on top of a scone at tea time. I just love this one!
To make Homemade Plum Jelly, you will need the following ingredients:
In a large stockpot, bring the plums and water to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
Using a fine mesh strainer or several layers of cheesecloth, strain the juice and then allow the fruit to drain for 30 minutes until you have about 5 ½ cups of plum juice. Discard leftover fruit pieces.
Pour the 5 ½ cups plum juice back into the stock pot and add pectin and butter. Bring to a hard boil.
Once boiling, add sugar and continue to boil for 5-10 minute more. Remove from heat and skim off any foam and excess from the surface, using a spoon.
Portion jelly into clean storage jars using a ladle spoon. Top with lids and seal closed.
Jelly can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 year. Unopened jars can be stored in a cool, dry area for up to 2 years.
