In our garden, we have a lovely yellow plum tree. But we never manage to get through all of the fruit. This year I thought I would make use of the excess and make some Jam!

Steps

1

Slice and de-seed the plums. Add to a large saucepan. Add the water and sugar to the plums and place on a high heat.
2

Leave the mixture to boil on a high heat, stirring occasionally. (add more sugar or lemon juice to taste)
3

Keep on the boil until reduce by half. It should be a reasonably thick consistency (jam like). Once at the desired consistency take off the heat and allow to cool for 10-15 mins.

There is lots of information about sterilising and sealing Jam jars on the web. Without sterilisation and sealing I find the jam will last in the fridge for about 3 weeks. Add the Jam from the pan to the jam jars. Leave to cool. Once cool keep in the fridge.
