Tips:

  • Use ripe, juicy plums for the best flavor.
  • If you don't have a food mill, you can puree the plums in a blender or food processor.
  • Be sure to measure the sugar and pectin accurately. Too much sugar will make the jam too thick, and too little pectin will make it too runny.
  • Bring the jam to a full rolling boil before removing it from the heat. This will help to set the pectin and prevent the jam from spoiling.
  • Process the jam in a hot water bath canner for 10 minutes to ensure that it is properly sealed.
  • Store the jam in a cool, dark place for up to a year.

Conclusion:

Plum freezer jam is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed all year long. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious jam that is perfect for spreading on toast, biscuits, or even ice cream.
