To make Spiced Plum Jam Canning, you will need the following ingredients:
- 4 cups of chopped plums
- 2 cups of sugar
- 1/4 cup of lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon of cloves
To begin, wash and chop your plums into small pieces. In a large pot, combine the plums, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Stir the mixture well and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the mixture is boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. The jam should thicken and become glossy as it cooks.
While the jam is cooking, prepare your canning jars and lids by washing them in hot, soapy water and sterilizing them in boiling water for 10 minutes.
Once the jam has finished cooking, remove it from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, carefully ladle the jam into your prepared canning jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top.
Wipe the rims of the jars clean with a damp cloth, then place the lids on top and screw on the bands. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes, then remove them from the water and let them cool.
