plum jam
I love jams, of all types. I have a special place in my heart for plum jams, there are so many different types of plums out there, that it never tastes the same way twice, but it always tastes great. This lovely recipe is quick, delicious and easy to make with few ingredients. No pectin is required in this lovely treat. Truly, there is nothing better than fresh bread, salty butter and delicious sweet jam.

How To Make plum jam
-
Step 1Add the prepared plums to a large pot, cover the plums with water, then turn the heat on high and add the sugar; slowly mixing until the sugar is dissolved.
-
Step 2Once the water starts to boil, stop stirring. Now add the lemon juice and zest and lower the temperature to medium and allow to cook for 20 minutes.

Step 3If a foam has formed, ignore it, it will be absorbed into the jam.

Step 4Now lower the temperature to low, cover and simmer for 25 minutes. It will set as it cools. Once it is cool enough to work with, pour into a sterilized glass jar, cover and place in the fridge.
