This is our new family plum jam recipe! My oldest boy brought home a big sack of plums from a neighbor's, and we had to do something, so this is what we tried. The only change I made was to process the jars just a tad longer- 20 min.- because we're at a higher elevation- and everything came out PERFECT. These old Ball Blue Book recipes are the gold standard for canning- this is a can't-miss recipe! Thanks for sharing it with us! :)

We really enjoyed this jam recipe. The instructions were easy to follow, too. I will keep this as my standard recipe for those times that I want to make plum jam again. Thanks for sharing your recipe, Chris Reynolds. Made for Spain/Portugal monthly tag game for October 2012. -
