I followed this recipe as directed the first time, halving the sugar with splenda. The result was more of a plum sauce, it definitely is not a jam or preserve consistency. I found another recipe that explains the natural "jellying" process better, in fact, to reach the right consistency it says to simmer for up to 2 hours. I have found plenty of uses for the batch I made, I like to add a spoonful or two to my oatmeal in the morning.
