Ingredients
- 4 cups ripe peaches
- 2 cups ripe plums
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 cups water
Directions
Step 1
Wash the peaches and plums thoroughly. Remove the pits and cut the fruit into small, evenly-sized chunks.
Step 2
In a large pot or saucepan, combine the chopped peaches, chopped plums, sugar, lemon juice, and water.
Step 3
Place the pot over medium heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved and the fruit begins to release its juices.
Step 4
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking or burning.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Allow the jam to cool completely before storing in the refrigerator or pantry. Enjoy your homemade Peach Plum Jam!
