Beautiful jars of plum jam.
Some for the pantry and some to give as gifts!
A big bowl of plums, ready to be made into something delicious!
Bubbling away in the pot.....I thought it might overflow!
I feel fortunate this year that we had a lot of rainfall during the winter. I have a small
Santa Rosa plum tree in my backyard, and it is so full of fruit, I can only think
the abundance comes from good rains in the winter.
For a few days I had been picking plums, and before we went out of town(not wanting to leave ripe
plums for any squirrels) I picked the remaining fruit that was ripe.
This is the first year since I planted the tree, that I have had such a wonderful crop.
Now......what to do with all the plums?
Plum jam was the answer. Not wanting to bake a big dessert with them since we were leaving.
Jam was the perfect thing, since it can be stored away in the cupboard.
After cutting all the fruit, I could hardly believe, I had 9 cups of fruit.
With big pots on the stove full of jars and lids, and all the sugar measured,
I got right to the job!
Try your hand at jam making this summer!
