Homemade Plum Jelly

plums

(1.75 ounce) box fruit pectin

unsalted butter

Slice the plums in half and remove and discard the pits. Don’t bother peeling them.

Place the plums in a large stockpot. Add the water. Bring the pot to a boil, then cover and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes.

Strain the juice by pouring through a fine mesh strainer or line a colander with several layers of cheesecloth. Allow the fruit to drain for about 30 minutes. Discard the fruit.

You should have about 5 ½ cups of plum juice. Pour the juice back into the pot. Add one box of pectin and the butter. Bring the juice to a hard rolling boil.

Add the sugar. Continue to boil the jelly for one minute. Remove the pot from the heat. Skim any foam from the top with a metal spoon.

Ladle the jelly into clean jars. Jelly can be stored for one year in the fridge.

Jelly can also be canned using the water bath canning method. Leave ¼ - inch of headspace in each jar. Top with lids and bands. Process for 10 minutes. Unopened jars can be stored in a cool, dry place for up to 2 years.

Plum Jelly Recipe

plum juice

lemon juice ((bottled))

Pomona's Pectin

Add plums to a steam juicer. Allow fruit to steam until there is only pulp remaining. Save the pulp for the pigs, chickens or the compost pile!

For Plum Juice (with Steam Juicer)

Halve and pit your plums, then place them in a large stockpot with about 1/2 inch of water on the bottom.

Bring to a boil and continue to stir and mash the plums to avoid scorching on the bottom of the pot.

Strain mashed plums through a fine mesh sieve to collect the juice.

For Plum Juice (without Steam Juicer)

Begin with clean jars and all your supplies and ingredients ready to go.

Mix together lemon juice and calcium water in a bowl.

Measure out sugar and add pectin into a separate bowl, stir to combine.

Pour plum juice into a large stockpot over medium to medium-high heat.

Add lemon juice mixture and stir to combine.

Bring to a rolling boil then slowly add sugar mixture while stirring continuously to avoid clumping.

Continue stirring until it reaches a rolling boil again.

Once your jelly returns to a boil, remove from the heat and begin filling jars

For Plum Jelly

Prepare water bath canners by filling about 1/2 way full with water and heating to just below a boil.

Using a funnel and a ladle, fill clean Mason jars to 1/4 inch headspace.

Wipe the rims of the jars clean with a damp towel and place the canning lid on.

Add the canning lid band and tighten to fingertip tight.

Place jars in a water bath canner and bring to a full rolling boil.

Once the water is boiling, process the jelly for 10 minutes (or 15 minutes if you’re above 1000 ft. elevation).

Turn the canner off and remove the lid.

Let jars sit inside the canner for 10 minutes.

Remove jars using a jar lifter (and a bowl to catch any drips of water) and place on a towel-lined counter to cool completely, undisturbed, for 24 hours.

After 24 hours, remove the bands, check the seals, wipe down any sticky residue and label the jars before storing in the pantry.
