Time 2h40m

Yield 72

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 whole cloves
8 cups pitted and quartered plums
8 tablespoons lemon juice
8 tablespoons water
1 (1.75 ounce) package powdered fruit pectin
8 cups white sugar

Steps:

  • Wrap cloves in cheesecloth or a spice sack; set aside.
  • Inspect 9 glass jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jam is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  • Combine plums, lemon juice, water, and pectin in a large, deep saucepan over low heat. Bring to a boil.
  • Add sugar and cloves. Cook, stirring continuously, until sugar dissolves and mixture reaches 220 degrees F (104 degrees C), 3 to 5 minutes. Remove and discard cloves.
  • Pour jam into sterilized jars. Wipe any drips off lip of jars, and add lids. Place on a damp towel to cool and self-seal; you will hear a popping sound as jam cools, about 2 hours.
