🧂 Ingredients

1 First, wash the plums thoroughly and cut them into chunks, discarding the pits.
2 In a large saucepan, combine the chopped plums, sugar, water, and lemon juice.
Stir the mixture continuously as you bring it to a boil, ensuring the sugar
fully dissolves.
3 Keep stirring the mixture as it simmers for 15-20 minutes until it begins to
thicken and reaches the gelling point.
4 Once ready, remove the saucepan from heat and carefully ladle the jam into clean
mason jars.
5 If you'd like to store the jam for a longer period, you can proceed with the
boiling water canning method. Otherwise, simply refrigerate the plum jam and
enjoy it fresh.
