Wild Plum Jam Recipe

Wash fully ripe plums.

Place in kettle, barely cover with water and simmer covered until the skins burst and fruit is soft. Press through ricer or colander.

Measure 6 cups pulp and place in a deep saucepan. Add 1 package Sure-Jell and bring to a hard boil. Add sugar all at once and bring back to a full rolling boil. Boil hard 1 minute.

Remove from heat and skim off foam. Ladle into sterilized jars, leave 1/8-inch headspace. Wipe jar rims and adjust lids. Process 5 minutes in a boiling water bath.
