Blood Plum Jam

This is my mum's recipe (you can tell it's old as it's in pounds)! Adjust quantities to suit the amount of fruit.

4lbs plums

3lbs sugar

chop up plums and cook till soft with a little bit of sugar.

warm sugar - I put in baking dish and gently warm in oven

tip sugar in with plums and stir until sugar dissolved

boil rapidly until set

to test when set, put saucer in freezer, drop bit of jam on and when it wrinkles when you push with finger take off.

Process in sterile jars to keep for longer
