I have been told that I am a bit whacky,
quirky even
but now
I think I'm
PLUM CRAZY!
Our plum tree is loaded with
plums~
a plethora of plums!
"John!!
let's make jam!"
recipe search....
.a jam that is not too sugary as the plums are really sweet!
One of my favorite foodie magazines with
great "healthy" recipes!
John picked some of the plums -
like a bucket load!
We pitted about a third of the bucket.
followed the recipe ...
cooking away
added the sugar
and the pectin
cooking...cooking ...cooking
HOT!!
and messy!
Finished!
let cool 24 hours
and then freeze
Making jam reminds me
of taking pictures
using
F I L M
you have to wait to see how the pictures turn out.
The jam seemed a bit liquidy in the jar
not like real
JAM
Hopefully,
it will jam up.
If it doesn't,
what to do?
Fage yogurt with plum sauce and granola?
(don't you just l o v e Fage yogurt?)
Duck with plum sauce?
Chicken with plum sauce?
Lamb with plum sauce?
Tofu with plum sauce?
Plum smoothies?
hmmmm........
Keep your fingers crossed that the Plum Crazy Jam jams up!

This is so funny that you wrote a post on canning. We were just talking about canning at the studio yesterday about how people are getting back into this tradition. Don't you just love plums! xoxo Judy
