This jam recipe is easy and makes really good plum jam. I use pectin because it significantly reduces the boiling time and sugar needed. I prefer using organic red or purple skin plums with organic sugar. This recipes makes six 8oz. jars. Enjoy!

I think the amount of pectin is not right. I made this recipe and it never set. I redid the batch as the pectin sheet says and had to add the entire package. Maybe it should have been 3 Tbs not 3 tps. Could be sweeter. I also had to add sugar in redoing the pectin of 1 1/2 Tbs to each cup and it still was not sweet.
