How to Make Spicy Pepper Plum Jam

  1. Wash and pit 1 pound of plums. Chop into ½ inch pieces.
  2. In a large saucepan, combine the chopped plums, 1 cup sugar, ½ cup white vinegar, 1 tablespoon finely chopped jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat), 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the jam has thickened and reaches a desired consistency. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  6. Skim off any foam that forms on the surface.
  7. Transfer the jam to sterilized jars, leaving ¼ inch headspace.
  8. Seal the jars and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (or follow recommended guidelines for your altitude).
