Plum Jam Recipe

I made my first jam using the plum recipe on this site, it was so successful I surprised myself! We had our own plums and didn't want to waste them.

Thanks

Plum jam was the first Jam I ever made too - along with a big batch of scones!

I love jam making but worry about the kids' teeth and sugar so I often buy sugar free fruit spread from tescos now

Hey, I made loads of plum jam this year, even more exotic varieties like Plum Chocolate/ Plum and caramelized Almond Jam.....

I would've never believed it, but I'm totally mad about it... it's that bad that I didn't give away any of the latter, I only managed to seperate from the Whiskey Variety as I haven't tried it and it's the one of which I had most

I got 10lbs of plums for £1 from a place we passed in the car once, they were too small for them to sell as 'proper' plums.

Turned out really nice, but Brian said the only thing I don'tlike about the plum jam is the 'bits', he means the skins!!!! That's the best bit!!!! so now when he has his greek yoghurt, I sieve the skins out for him, otherwise he wouldn't eat it and he doesn't like the blackcurrant one either, but he's just weird!!!!!!

We made damson, apple & blackberry jam, still have 2 jars in the fridge, the damson's came from next door's plot. We also made damson vodka, not much of that left though!

oh i adore damson gin when my FIL makes it. i much prefer it to sloe though he more commonly makes the latter.

I wonder if it's possible to make blackberry gin - my blackberries are coming along well!
:idea:

Thanks a lot every one!

Another thing thats growing in the garden is a babaco, heard of it? You sprinkle sugar over it and stand for a while in the fridge. The only way to describe the look is it looks like snot, sorry but thats the only way to describe it :oops:

Tastes good though, we fight over who gets the most juice!

Hey Chrissie,

it couldn't be simpler: you just make your normal plum jam, maybe a bit less sugar (I generally use plums: sugar in the proportion 2-3:1) and when you're nearly done you put in dark chocolate, approximately 100 g chocolate per 1000 g plums. Originally you put in the whole bar at once, I grated it and put a right bit extra in

Enjoy,

Bell
