Easy Damson Plum Jam Recipe
This easy damson plum jam is an easy and enjoyable way to preserve the summer fruit and enjoy its taste all year round. With just a few ingredients and minimal prep work, you can make a delicious homemade jam that is healthier and tastier than store-bought varieties.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs of damson plums
- 2 cups of granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup of lemon juice
Instructions
- Rinse the damson plums and remove the pits. Cut the plums into small pieces and place them in a large pot.
- Add the sugar and lemon juice to the pot and stir well.
- Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the jam simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until it thickens. Stir occasionally to prevent the jam from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- To test if the jam is done, place a small spoonful on a plate and let it cool. If the jam holds its shape and wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it's done.
- Remove the pot from the heat and let the jam cool for a few minutes.
- Carefully ladle the jam into clean jars and let it cool completely.
- Once the jam has cooled, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 months or in the freezer for up to a year.
