Wild Plum Jam

First up, we’re making a delightful Wild Plum Jam. This jam is not just your regular spread; it bursts with flavor and adds that extra zing to your breakfast toast or your favorite dessert. Let’s dive into the goodness.

Ingredients:

4 cups wild plums, pitted and chopped
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 packet of pectin (1.75 oz)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Instructions:

In a large pot, combine the chopped wild plums, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir to mix well.
Cook over medium heat until the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
Add the pectin and stir continuously for about 1-2 minutes until it’s fully dissolved.
If using, add the cinnamon and stir well.
Let the mixture boil for about 10-15 minutes, stirring regularly to avoid sticking.
Check the consistency: take a small spoonful and place it on a cold plate. If it holds its shape after a minute, it’s ready to jar!
Remove the pot from heat and ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars. Seal tightly and let cool.

And there you have it, folks! A tangy, sweet Wild Plum Jam that’s sure to impress. Use it on biscuits, pancakes, or even as a topping for yogurt. This jam is all about bringing a little wild into your culinary world. Enjoy this delightful treat, and share the love with family and friends!
