Yield Makes about 6 8-ounce glasses

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 pounds underripe red plums
3 cups water
Port wine
6 cups sugar
6 tablespoons liquid pectin

Steps:

  • Pit the plums. Tie the pits in a cheesecloth bag. Cut the fruit into quarters. Simmer the plums, pits and water in a covered saucepan over medium heat for one hour, or until the fruit is almost reduced to a pulp. (To hasten the process, mash the fruit coarsely after it has cooked a while.) Discard the pits and force the pulp through a coarse sieve or a food mill. Place the purée in a jelly bag and let it drip overnight. (If you do not have a jelly bag, line a colander with 4 thicknesses of cheesecloth and set over a bowl.) The next day, measure the juice and add enough port wine to make 3 cups of liquid altogether. Combine the liquid and sugar in a large pot and bring to a full rolling boil over high heat. Add pectin and continue to boil hard, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Skim the top and pour into hot, sterilized jelly glasses. Cover with a thin layer of melted paraffin. When the paraffin has hardened, cover the glasses and store.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my jelly didn't set properly. I'm going to try again and see if I can get it right this time.

This jelly is a great way to use up extra plums. I had a bunch of plums that were about to go bad, so I made this jelly and it turned out great!

This jelly is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think it would be perfect for people who like sweeter jellies.
