Plum Jam

Contributed by: Melinda

I use wild plums or cherry plums for this, but any plums will work.

3 1/2 - 4 lbs plums
1 1/2 cups water (or more if needed)
2 5/8 - 3 cups sugar

Cut flesh of plums from pits over a heavy saucepan
Add sugar and water and heat slowly to dissolve sugar
Bring to a boil and cook at a low boil until reduced and thickened, reducing the temperature as needed (about 45 minutes)
Remove from heat and pour into sterilized jars filling to 1/4 inch from top
Place lids on but don't tighten - they will seal as they cool
Tighten lids the next day and store - discard or use immediately any that don't seal - sealed jars will keep about 1 year
