I cooked up a lot of plums this week.
I tried a no pectin plum jam recipe.
It used 12 lbs sweet ripe plums
4½ cups white sugar
to make 8 pint-sized jars.
Well, it took a very long time, and I have to say that for all that work, I was not thrilled with the results. (pictured above).
I also tried making Jello Jam. This turned out quite deliciously. I used watermelon Jello which gave the plums a very pleasant flavor. This one is a keeper!
And then I made a batch of Plum Butter. I have always loved apple butter and am very pleased to have learned that I can make plum butter with all my plums (we have two plum trees).
Yesterday I made yogurt. I bought this yogurt maker in 2010, and I love it.
The plain yogurt is very tasty with a bit of plum jam stirred into it.
Now, all I have to do is keep from eating all this yummy plum goodness!

Yum-yum across the board. It's great to encounter a fellow yogurt + jam fan. I really, really like that combination as well (ditto for sour cream + jam, both then spread on something such as pancakes, crumpets or cornmeal muffins).
ReplyDeleteMany hugs & joyful start of August wishes,

That looks delicious! We have a ton of plum trees but the plums aren't ripe yet. My husband and I would like to try to make up some jam too, I've never heard of plum butter. I may have to try that as it looks delicious.
