INGREDIENTS

  • Main

    • 🍑 4 ½ cups pitted, chopped plums
    • 💧 ½ cup water
    • 🧂 7 ½ cups white sugar
    • 🧈 ½ teaspoon butter (Optional)
    • 1 (1.75 ounce) package powdered fruit pectin

STEPS

1

Gather the ingredients.

2

Inspect 6 half-pint jars for cracks and immerse in simmering water until jam is ready.

3

Combine plums and water in a large pot over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes.

4

Stir in sugar, then add butter to reduce foaming if needed.

5

Increase the heat to high, stirring constantly, until a full, rolling boil is achieved. Quickly stir in pectin and return to a rolling boil. Boil, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.

6

Pack jam into hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/8 inch at the top. Remove air bubbles, clean rims, and top with lids.

7

Place jars in a boiling water bath, ensuring they are submerged by at least 1 inch of water. Process for 10 minutes.

8

Remove jars and let rest undisturbed for 12 to 24 hours. Check seals by pressing the lid center to see it does not move.
