ABC Wednesday.....Y!

Y is for YUMMY!
Auntie denise's home made plum jam + Nephew 3!
yummy?
lick every last finger!
yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmy, delicious!
Clean plate now!
I make plum jam, or conserve to be exact! If there are big pieces of fruit in the jam it is a conserve, according to Margatert Pattern!I use the damsons/plums from our own garden.If I can do it anybody can. 1 kg plums, 1 kg sugar! Put plums in pan, simmer away (this releases the pectin) add sugar until it dissolves,bubble away for a while... getting scalded by the mixture! Test...saucer business, brings back memories from school! Pour into hot jars, seal with waxy paper! To join in the ABC lark, go here

I've just had a scone with apricot jam so I couldn't make room for it just now.

Would that work with any type of fruit? I've got some red berries stuck in the freezer until I know what to do with them...

His darling face says it all!

Tash said...

This settles it - I'm coming right over. (I do wish I could). Plum jam/conserve is so tasty because of the tart & sweet flavor mixed so deliciously together. Nephew 3 has such a nice smile.

Yummy I bet! I'd LOVE to taste your plum jam! Come on over to see my yachts! lol

Mrs Mac said...

LOL!!!!!!!!!! The look on his face says it all!!!

My favourite jams are apricot or ginger. Scrum! But plum is good with cream on scones. BTW, do you still manage to find greengages? I haven't seen them in years!

Dragonstar said...

I used to make a lot of jam and marmalade. No-one eats it any more, so I don't bother, but it was so much nicer than the shop stuff.
Fine Y Denise.

James Higham said...
