Plum Jam

A sweet old-fashioned plum jam made with fresh plums, water, and sugar-—simmered until the fruit softens, then cooked gently until clear and thick before being poured into hot sterilized jars and sealed at once. This sauce & condiment is presented so home cooks can move easily from gathering the ingredients to serving the finished dish. The ingredient checklist and numbered directions keep the cooking process clear from start to finish. Read through the complete method before beginning, then save or print the page so the recipe is ready whenever it belongs on your table again.
