Plum Jam Anyone???

I finally got around to re-making my Plum Cinnamon Jam. I never realized how precise you have to be with your measurements when making jam..... I made this jam last year and only 1 of the 2 batches set up right. Well I made notes last year and when I tried again this year neither of my batches set up. Hmmm....














Inside the pectin box is a recipe for re-making your jam if it doesn't set up. Since they actually have directions for this I am assuming I am not the only one who has had this problem. :-)

If you have never made jam before I will warn you that it makes a MESS!!! You have to have large pots of water ready to boil as soon as you fill the jars and seal them, plus having the pot with your sticky gooey jam mixture, and then a place to set all these jars to fill them and then a place for them to cool. You can't touch them for 24 hours to see if they set correctly.....Whew..... I'm soo glad I only have to do this once a year. Hee hee.

Well, when you re-make your jam, it makes the same mess!!! But, this time it set up so the mess was worth it.

I think I have enough jam for a lifetime.......watch out you might be getting some for Christmas.....
