Drew – Thank you for your concern.

This recipe came directly from the pectin package I used to make the jam, and is generally considered safe for canning. However, I do think that it is important for others to double check for safe recipes and ingredients while canning.

Please take this post with caution. You MUST check with your county co-op to see what can be canned with a hot water bath and what can’t. Her list contains BOTH!!! If the acid levels are too low in an item, they WILL grow bacteria EVEN IF YOU SEAL THEM IN A WATER BATH. Please take care.

Don’t worry about poisoning anyone unless a seal pops. Then throw that sucker away! Don’t even try to test it. Then you would get sick. Sorry didn’t mean to sound all “public service announcement” but I grew up canning. I’m pretty sure we canned everything! Jam, jelly, hot sauce, bbq sauce, pickles, tomatoes….the list goes on and on.

Ok enough about me and onto this delicious looking jam. I love that fact that you used plums. They are some of my favorite fruit and they are all over the markets. I need to give this a try.

Now I’m craving plums…..

i had a ton of shiro plums (yellow plums) from my fruit tree, but i either ate them or gave it away to family & friends. i should be selfish next time and squirrel it away in the form of a jam, like this! then i can have my lovely plums all year round… *sigh* too late now.
