Plum Jam Rustic Homemade Plum Jam with a Hint of Lemon Ingredients: 4 cups ripe plums, pitted and chopped (skins on) 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 teaspoon lemon zest 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for depth) Directions: Place chopped plums in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add lemon juice and zest. Stir occasionally and cook for about 10 minutes, until the plums begin to break down and release their juices. Add sugar and cinnamon (if using). Stir to combine, then bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Continue boiling for 20–25 minutes, stirring frequently, until the jam thickens and reaches 220°F (105°C) on a candy thermometer. Test for doneness by placing a small amount on a chilled plate. If it wrinkles when pushed, it’s ready. Remove from heat and skim off any foam. Pour hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Seal with lids.
