Step by Step Method

Step 1

In a large pan combine the prepared plums, rhubarb, water and the lemon juice.

Step 2

Bring the above mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly to avoid sticking and burning.

Step 3

When it has come to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and allow the mixture to simmer, partly covered, stirring often, for about 15 minutes, or until rhubarb is tender.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the sugar, stirring constantly to avoid sticking and burning.

Step 5

Bring mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar completely.

Step 6

Then reduce heat to medium and allow mixture to simmer gently, uncovered, stirring often and reducing heat further as the mixture thickens - about 20 to 25 minutes or until thickened.

Step 7

Remove the mixture from the heat and skim off any foam.

Step 8

Ladle into sterilized jars to within 1/4" of the rim top, and wipe rim as necessary.

Step 9

Apply the prepared lids and rings, and tighten fingertip-tight.

Step 10

Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes, or as blue book says

This is a delicious and easy recipe. I didn't have wild plums, so I used purple pluots. Although I have made jam with wild plums before which was delicious, which made me want to try this recipe. I accidentally put the sugar in at the start with the fruit but with more vigilant stirring it was great anyway. I cooked it for way longer than an hour.
