📝 Preparation Steps
1
Wash and pit the greengage plums. Cut them into quarters or smaller pieces depending on the desired texture of your jam.
2
Combine the chopped plums and water in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook for about ⏱️ 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit softens and starts to break down.
3
Add the sugar and lemon juice. Stir to dissolve the sugar completely. Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a full rolling boil.
4
Continue boiling, stirring frequently, until the jam reaches 220°F on a thermometer or passes the wrinkle test on a chilled plate.
5
Remove the jam from the heat. Skim off any foam if necessary.
6
Ladle the hot jam into warm, sterilized jars, leaving ¼ inch headspace. Wipe the rims, apply two-piece lids, and tighten until fingertip tight.
7
Process in a boiling water bath canner for ⏱️ 10 minutes at elevations up to 6,000 feet or ⏱️ 15 minutes above 6,000 feet.
8
Let jars cool undisturbed for 12 to ⏱️ 24 hours. Check seals before storing.
