Title: Help! plum jam, stones didn't separate
Post by: Casey76 on July 10, 2010, 11:37

Morning :)

Latest jam attempt is plum.

I cut the plums into 3 (slices) and they've been boiling for 40 minutes (as per the recipe for the electric jam maker) but the stones haven't separated and risen to the surface.

I know people often like a bit of fibre in their jam, but plum pits is asking a bit much!
