Plum Jam





How is it?

Same basket of "Daffs" plums but the first one taken outside and the second inside.

Intend to make some Plum Jam out of these. Last year the possums got the lot.
I'm wondering why Plums have a blush on them, must be a reason. Have four different species of Plums in the orchard, but these are Christmass Plums. The original tree was in Aunty "Daff" Renwicks back yard and my dad John took a cutting off this many years ago (around fourty years ago) and we always make sure that at least someone in the family has a tree. I took cuttings off the one that Linda had and now have five trees. They should be in full fruiting mode by next year, that will be there sixth year in the ground. The main trunk twists so we have called it a twisty Christmass Plum.
Warm the Jars in the oven.
Heat the Plums with a little water and cook for a while, stir as needed.
