Ingredients

  • 1 pound Plums
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp Vanilla

Instructions

  • Wash, pit, and dice plums to your desired size.
  • In a large skillet add water and plums, cook on low heat until plums start to reduce. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Use the back of a fork to smash plums if you want them a little more mashed.
  • On medium-low heat, and add sugar and lemon juice. Stir continuously until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  • Bring to a boil, stirring continuously. Add vanilla. Cook for 5 minutes. If jam has any froth on top, remove with a spoon, and discard.
  • You can eat the jam right away, cool and keep in the fridge for later, or store long-term in sterilized jars sealed with lids.
