Cómo preparar Plum Preserves
- Wash and pit 4 pounds ripe plums. Roughly chop the plums.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the chopped plums, 4 cups granulated sugar, 1/2 cup lemon juice, and 1/4 cup water.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Continue to boil rapidly, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and scorching. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the pan as needed.
- To check for doneness, place a small spoonful of the preserves on a chilled plate. Let it cool for a minute. If the preserves wrinkle when you push it with your finger, it's ready.
- Carefully ladle the hot preserves into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace at the top of each jar.
- Wipe the rims of the jars clean, ensuring no preserves cling to the sides.
- Secure lids and rings on the jars, following manufacturer's instructions.
- Process in a boiling water bath canner for 15 minutes (adjust processing time depending on your altitude; consult a complete canning guide for detailed instructions).
- Remove jars from the canner and let them cool completely. You should hear a 'pop' sound as the jars seal. Check that all jars have sealed correctly.
