Yellow Plum Jam
Description
A homemade winter preserve. The amount of sugar in this yellow plum jam recipe may vary depending on how sweet the fruit is. If the jam does not thicken well while cooking, you can add pectin, for example. Very appetizing, sweet, and natural—just the thing with tea for the whole family.
