How to Make Plum Good Pickled Plums
- Wash 1 pound of ripe plums and prick each plum with a fork.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup white vinegar, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup water, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Add the plums to the saucepan and simmer for 3-4 minutes, gently stirring to ensure even cooking.
- Carefully remove the plums from the syrup using a slotted spoon and pack them into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace.
- Continue to boil the remaining syrup until it thickens slightly, reaching a consistency similar to light syrup (about 5-7 minutes).
- Pour the hot syrup over the plums in the jars, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace. Remove any air bubbles by gently tapping the jars.
- Wipe the jar rims clean, place lids on tightly, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust time based on altitude).
- Let the jars cool completely. Check for seals (lids should not flex). Store in a cool, dark place for at least 2 months before enjoying. The flavor will improve with time!
