Old Fashion Yellow Plum Preserves image

Here is a traditional recipe that you can alter to your preference. As kids, we would pick wild plums and Mom would boil for about 12 minutes and pour into sterilized jars. She even left the pits in and it was the only thing that slowed us down! The preserves were plums suspended in a thick syrup that was amazing on ice cream or served with cream and toast. Cook it a little longer and you will have a jam consistency. You can also substitute the yellow plums for Italian plums. Add a little 4 tablespoons brandy just before placing into jars if you are not planning to serve this to minors!

These preserves are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my preserves turned out too runny. I think I might have cooked them for too short a time.

These preserves are a great way to use up ripe plums. I had a bunch of plums that were about to go bad, so I decided to make these preserves. They turned out great and I'm so glad I didn't let the plums go to waste.

These preserves are a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just a matter of personal preference. I would recommend using slightly less lemon juice if you prefer a sweeter preserve.
