Summer Plum Jam
While the lemon tree produces lemons throughout the year, the plum bursts forth in a three week explosion of fruit each summer. This bowl represents a couple days’ worth of harvestable plums. My first attempt at jam was during our second summer in the house. Friends and the Internet helped me learn how to do it, and it lets me extend that taste of summer throughout the year.
When T and I were looking to buy a home and first saw this house, I was delighted to see the back yard included both a plum tree and a lemon tree.
The fruit from this tree is very sweet and very juicy. One of my great summer pleasures is to pluck a plum, wash it, and eat it over the sink as the juice drips down my chin. There are too many plums for us to eat like this, however, so I like to make some into jam.
I love the fact that the ingredients are so simple: fruit, sugar, lemon juice, and fruit pectin. That’s it (well, that’s usually it. This year I am experimenting by also adding tea to the mix). Here are the jars being heated to seal the lids. I really need to invest in a pot where I can get two layers of jars going at a time…
And voila! Pretty jars of sweet sunshine.
