RASPBERRY PLUM JAM

The thing I like best about this jam is the way the plums stretch the flavor of the raspberries. I make it when plums are in season, and we enjoy it all winter long on toast or homemade bread. For a few years, my husband and I had a small acreage with chickens, rabbits and sheep. Although we now live in town, our hearts still belong in the country! We have six children-three of them grown, two teenagers plus a girl who's 10-and two grandchildren.

Plum Raspberry Jam image

So easy and so delicious! This jam is sweet with just a hint of tartness. For Christmas I gave out pint jars with home-made mini loaves of bread to my co-workers, after Christmas break they all said it was the best jam they had ever had, a few even asked if they could buy some from me because it was already gone!!!

Ingredients

8 cups plums, finely chopped, skin on, yellow flesh with dark purple skin
6 cups sugar

Tips:

Use ripe, fresh fruit: This will ensure the best flavor and texture for your jam.
Prepare your fruit properly: This may involve washing, peeling, pitting, or chopping, depending on the fruit you're using.
Use a large pot: Jam can bubble up and expand during cooking, so it's important to use a pot that's large enough to accommodate this.
Stir the jam frequently: This will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
Test the jam for doneness: The easiest way to do this is to place a small amount of jam on a cold plate. If it wrinkles when you push your finger through it, it's done.
Can the jam properly: If you want to store your jam for a long period of time, it's important to can it properly. This involves sterilizing the jars and lids, and then processing the jam in a boiling water bath.

Conclusion:

Making plum raspberry jam is a great way to preserve the summer's bounty and enjoy the delicious flavor of these fruits all year long. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and beautiful jam that will be enjoyed by family and friends alike.
