Best Italian Plum Jam Half Recipes
ITALIAN PLUM JAM - HALF RECIPE
Italian plum jam is my favorite. Sometime I have too many plums to eat out of hand, but not enough to make a whole batch of jam. This recipe uses about 18-20 plums and a half package, dry low sugar pectin. Do not use overly ripe plums.

Steps:
- Place the plums and water into a large pot, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the sugar, and add butter to reduce foaming, if needed. Bring the mixture to a full, rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly, and then mix in the pectin quickly. Return the jam to a full boil, and boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and skim off and discard any foam.
- Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the plum jam into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/8 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area. Refrigerate opened jars for up to 3 weeks.

MRS. G'S ITALIAN PLUM & COINTREAU JAM
We have wonderful Italian plum trees all throughout our neighborhood. Our first year here we picked 34 pounds of plums! I got a recipe from the Fancy Pantry for Plum and Orange Liqueur Jam. After many many batches I adjusted the recipe to the following and really really love it. It doesn't set really thick, but it tastes fabulous and it is awesome to use with JanctC-KY's Easy Plum Sauce Recipe #172468. NOTE: This is a great recipe for those who are intimidated by or want to try canning, BUT this method of canning is only good for fruit jams with an acid and lots of sugar. Do NOT use this method for canning other foods! When the jam is boiling it will splatter everywhere. I wear a long sleeve shirt and use an oven mitt when stirring the jelly. I also cover the rest of the stove and nearby wall with tin foil. It makes clean up a whole lot easier. EASY JELLY TEST...Place small plate in freezer to chill. Spoon some hot jam onto chilled plate and return to freezer for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove from freezer and run your finger through the jam. If the jam does not fill in the space left by your finger, it's done. I like this jam a bit runny, so I don't worry if it fills in slightly.

Steps:
- JELLY:.
- Rinse, drain and pit plums.
- Cook the plums and water at a fast simmer for 30 minutes, stirring frequently. I use my biggest, shallowest pan that will hold the plums and water and allow for stirring, you want evaporation to take place.
- The plums will become very soft and begin to fall apart.
- Press the plums and liquid through a coarse food mill.
- Combine plums, lemon juice and sugar in a large pan (like a dutch oven) or preserving pan.
- Add 1 tablespoon of butter, this helps reduce foaming.
- Stir over medium high heat until sugar is dissolved.
- Cook jam at a brisk boil (spooning off any foam that arises) until it passes the jelly test, about 10 - 11 minutes.
- Add liqueur and cook 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat.
- CANNING:.
- Wash jars and screw rings.
- Fill electric fry pan 2/3 full with water and bring to a boil.
- Put jars in water, upside down along with sealing lids.
- Jars should heat at least 10 minutes, and sealing lids at least 3 and should be covered by water.
- Ladle jam into jars filing to 1/4 from very top.
- Wipe rim with boiling water using a paper towel.
- Put on sealing lid and screw on ring.
- Turn jar upside down.
- Finish all jars.
- Turn jars right side up.
