Homemade Plum Jam

I've never made jam before and I found a recipe on Mykitchensnippets' blog. It seemed simple and I decided to try it.  It calls for six chopped plums, one and a half cups of white sugar and the juice of one lemon. Boil for 30 minutes and spoon into a jar! It's delicious! I made sure to wait until the plums were ripe, sweet and juicy. It doesn't require canning as it's just one jar that you are going use and refrigerate. Is this something you would try making yourself?

I love making jam and when I make it, I do a whole batch, and have some presents for other people. It is always delicious! Valerie

It sounds easy, but that's a lot of sugar!!!

It does sound delicious. How clever to make just one jar of jam. Sometimes we make big batch and it is too much.
Lovely!

My mother would make plum jelly using the Santa Rosa plums from my sister's tree. It was the best plum jelly ever. A friend of mine gave me a jar last year that she made, and it was almost as good as my mother's. Almost.
