If you think you will have trouble with the jam setting use half fruit sugar and half preserving sugar. Fruit sugar contains pectin. If the jam has a scum on the top, add a knob of butter and 1 tsp of glycerine and stir before putting in jars. To sterilize jars. Put clean dry jars and their lids, if using, on a baking tray. Heat the oven to 100C and place the jars in the oven. Leave for 10 minutes. Allow to cool in the oven before use. This is a good recipe.

Tue, 23 Aug 2011 15:42:09 +0000 http://www.allotment.org.uk/recipe/?p=1220#comment-4596 Hi, I am just about to make my first batch of plum jam, having searched the net and read a great deal of advice, some recommend granulated sugar, others preserving sugar, your advice please in this matter. Do you advise the addition of such things as wine & sherry etc. My plums are "Opal variety"at what stage do you suggest picking? Regards. F D Rogers.

It is really tasty but it took a long time to set. However, it wasn't clear exactly what was to be done with the kernals right at the beginning of the recipe. I have just made the plum jam.

You can get apricot kernels as a snack in central asia, taste good and never did me any harm.

Cannot wait for it to cool. I know it will set well as the remains in the pan is sticky and tastes gorgeous. Thanks for the recipe. Just potted my first attempt of any kind of jam.
