"I found this on the web, it didnt have a name attached. I decided to put the recipe up as it was written, but I made a few changes. I used 500grams of plum jam, and cut the white sugar down to 1/2 cup, it is still very sweet, and next time I might leave the white sugar out completely. I realy like the meld of flavours, and will make it often, tweaking as I go :)"

Tasted Yummy! I made seven jars of this last night and it worked really well. I only used 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar because my plums were really sour. Will be giving it to family, friends and Little Miss (DD) school (For there give-away hamper). Thanks for posting the recipe Mummamills.

I cut this recipe in half & made it early this month, gifting several small jars to friends of mine, & FINALLY got some feed-back, all of which was gushy & otherwise GREAT! The 2 of us here really enjoyed it, as well! I took your introductory advice & omitted the granulated sugar, feeling the amount of brown sugar was plenty, & it was! Now I'm considering making up a full batch to can & include in my end-of-year holiday gift baskets! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
