How to Make Peach Plum Jam

  1. Wash and chop 4 cups of ripe peaches and 4 cups of ripe plums.
  2. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the chopped peaches, plums, 1/2 cup of lemon juice, and 7 cups of granulated sugar.
  3. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves completely.
  4. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, stirring constantly.
  5. Boil hard, stirring constantly, for exactly 1 minute.
  6. Reduce heat to medium. Add 2 pouches (10 ounces each) of powdered pectin (such as Certo), stirring constantly until fully incorporated.
  7. Return the mixture to a rolling boil and boil hard, stirring constantly for 1 minute more.
  8. Remove from heat immediately. Skim off any foam using a metal spoon.
  9. Fill hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace.
  10. Wipe the rims of the jars clean with a damp cloth.
  11. Place lids and bands on the jars, tightening the bands fingertip-tight.
  12. Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust time based on your altitude; consult a canning guide for precise instructions).
  13. Remove jars and allow to cool completely. You should hear a popping sound as the jars seal. Check seals after cooling – they should be concave.
