Time 1h20m

Yield Makes about 3 pints

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds ripe or overripe peaches
2 pounds ripe or overripe red plums
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/3 cup water
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, plus more if desired
Pinch of coarse salt

Steps:

  • Pit peaches and plums and coarsely chop into pieces slightly smaller than 1/2 inch. Combine fruit, sugar, water, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and salt in a heavy-bottomed pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil (do not stir) until mixture begins to thicken, about 18 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, until mixture is thickened and jamlike, about 30 minutes. Add more lemon juice to taste, then let cool completely.
