Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups ripe peaches
- 2 cups ripe plums
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 cups water
Instructions
Wash the peaches and plums thoroughly. Remove the pits and cut the fruit into small, evenly-sized chunks.
In a large pot or saucepan, combine the chopped peaches, chopped plums, sugar, lemon juice, and water.
Place the pot over medium heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved and the fruit begins to release its juices.
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking or burning.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Use a potato masher or the back of a spoon to gently break down the fruit into smaller pieces for a smoother texture.
Continue simmering for 35 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Test the jam’s consistency by placing a small spoonful on a chilled plate. If it thickens and doesn’t run, the jam is ready. If not, continue cooking and testing every 5 minutes.
When the jam reaches the desired consistency, remove it from the heat. Let it cool slightly and then carefully ladle the jam into sterilized jars.
Seal the jars with lids and either refrigerate for immediate use or use a water bath canning method to store the jam for longer-term shelf life.
Allow the jam to cool completely before storing in the refrigerator or pantry. Enjoy your homemade Peach Plum Jam!
