My wife just made 12 jars of homemade plum jam and 5 gallons of plum wine. Man she shredded her hands, ruined her nails and stained her nails too. I offered to help her but it took me ten minutes to prepare three plums lol. She was in despair and told me to leave it to her. Wine won’t be ready for a long old time as it’s chemical free, with no finings. Takes much longer to clear. The jam is delicious and my wife took great pride in giving a jar to neighbours, friends and family. I feel for you cause watching my wife made me realise how hard canning and all that is.
Looks great! I have a few full size plum trees that probably produce 500+ plums each. We eat them as fast as we can but they all come ripe at the same time. I am definitely going to try this in a few months when they are ready. We have blackberries in every creek and roadside brambles everywhere so I'll be trying my hand at that as well. I'll be trying apricot this year also now that my apricot and pluot trees are producing as well. Strawberries from the garden too.
I should have mentioned I made plum jam using your method, and it was the best jam I think I've ever had. I kept the skins on and chopped them up. Wonderful. Thanks for the vid!
Linda, I always look to you for canning ideas. And I’m so glad I ran across this one from 11 years ago. Your show is always been inspiring and motivating and I just want to say thank you
Am so glad MistyPrepper shared this TH-cam link as we love plums and I LOVE clean kitchens like yours where you handle food well and keep things clean.
Normally, I stay away from YT videos longer than 10 minutes because some people just seem to talk and talk and talk... but you have such a pleasant personality that I could watch your videos all day. Thanks for the wonderful video. Now, I'm off to watch your other videos.
First time watcher... We moved to the Midwest last year and I'm committed to canning whatever I grow or am gifted this year! Most recent adventure was canning a 40 pound gift of beets! Next up, the plums on our two plum trees...the branches are so heavy that they are touching the ground. Thanks, Linda, loved this video and just subscribed.
I just got a big box of plums so I needed ideas so of course I check your channel and here is your video you made on this date 8 years ago. Retro Linda, I love it.
Hi Linda, Just love your video's and I wanted to leave you a little tip since you share so much. When your cutting up things like the plums with a sharp knife stick a thimble on your thumb and no more surface cuts to those hard working fingers :)
Hi Linda ! Well I just finished making my Strawberry Jam, and it turned out Beautiful. I just Finished watching your Video on Plum Jam, now I am off to do that. Thank you so much for Inspiring me, and I Just Love how you even Laugh during your video, as it makes me smile and Laugh. So Glad to have you here to watch. GOD BLESS !
Looks delicious...as does all of your canning projects, Linda. You are a natural in the kitchen and a wonderful instructor. Love your gorgeous top. You look like a model in it. Hope your holiday exceeds your expectations, Linda. Blessings of peace and joy this season.of hustle and bustle. jo
Wow! That IS a blessing. They were $2.49 a pound at our farmer's market yesterday. Needless to say, we came home and fed our trees!!! Looks great as everything you do does. Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Those are beautiful! I am always blessed by free food! I have been in Utah all Summer visiting with my daughter &her taking advantage of the beautiful produce in season. I have done quite a bit of Canning &I will be uploading videos as soon as my laptop is fixed this week. I love putting up food & especially canning! Thank you for sharing your lovely work! Your friends will be blessed for Christmas.
Linda, I discovered it was not a cherry tree I found on the roadside. It was a wild Cherry Plum tree. So I am going to follow your instructions on what to do. Thanks. Jerry of Pine Meadows Hobby Farm.
Gosh I love plum jam. This video is wonderful and if I was to try canning this is a simple straight forward video to follow. Thanks so much Linda they look wonderful.
I just canned 18 pints of red plums and I have another 18 to go another day. I canned 9 jars of nectarines and have 20# to go. This 10 year old video popped up @Linda's Pantry. They are listening all the time ❤️🙏🌞👍
I been loving your channel for a long time You and katzcradul are my ABSOLUTE FAVES! Keep up the good work I'm a dehydrating Mama thanks to you Linda. I just finished making the Plum syrup and jelly videos but used peaches instead. I watched them while I cooked and I'm done you are so precise your voice is pleasant I always pray before I start and I cant go wrong following your lead!
Great tutorial. I find that just throwing the plums seeds and all into the pot saves loads of time and saves lots of the meat that attaches to the seeds. Cook em down, let them cool, run them thru the food processor and strain out the seeds and put it back in the pot and bring it back to boil and jar it up!! All i throw out is the seeds and a bit of the skins that didn’t cook down
First time watching your channel and you're every entertaining. Love your sense of humor. I am looking forward to trying this for the first time. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Linda, Great video. I thought I had every gadget for canning but then saw that wide red scoop you used to scoop up the chopped plums. That's a great idea. Can you tell me who makes it and where I can get one? My neighbor sells produce but give us all his seconds and stuff he can not sell-for FREE. Gave us two 1/2 bushels of 2 types of plums today which I am going to can. Thanks again for a great video. Look forward to hearing from you about the scoop.
my mouth is watering watching you cut them up. I haven't had plum jam for a couple years. LOL, Good thing I know of someone that has a tree. I agree each year seems to be good for some things and not others. Very wise to stock up a year or two ahead.
hi ... thank you for your vids, I have 12 children and homeschool, we are currently setting up a facebook page titled "our kids can cook & budget" and your vid's are great motivation for us (well me to motivate them anyhow) so again thank you and I look forward to watching more of your vids and learning new things.
THAT is a TON of jam! hahaha I would have never thought to cook up plums with the skins! I am going to give this a try..... keep my eye balls out for sales on plums! by the way, i share you on The Kneady Homesteader facebook page all the time. hahaha
Love canning! Lots of wok bu so much fun and so satisfying o see all those jars full :). When my Mom was live she and I used to can everything - fruit, jam, pickles, etc. thanks for sharing Linda!
If you cut the plums in small batched and add sugar, place in fridge overnight the way you would do with strawberries, then simply place in pot the next day and simmer until it reduces and do it in small batches, you won't have the extra water. Just don't add water. Just cut the plums and add sugar as you would do for strawberries and let them sit in fridge overnight. Don't add any water and you won't need the pectin. That's the problem
Hello Linda I made this jam today turned out great. I have made jams in the pass just not plum jam. My husband loves plum jam. He said never will he buy it in the grocery store again.
Linda, I love watching your channel!! I have come into a bushel of free plums as well as SEVERAL bushels of apples and pears. My Sister in Law has fruit trees. Can you give me some other ideas for the plums? I have lots of plans for the apples and pears. But, I work 50 -60 hours a week and I will have to act fast so that nothing spoils! I am feeling very overwhelmingly blessed!!
Oh my goodness what a lot of work and sugar!!! Recently I picked 30 lbs plums from my neighbors tree. After washing n putting them in a big stockpot...covered them in water simmered for 30 minutes...took off most of the liquid put in fridge made great red juice!! Pureed the rest..skins on..NO SUGAR or anything else added... put into canning jars...tastes fabulous!!
Thank you Linda, I have learned so much by watching your videos. I have a ton of plums that have been in the freezer and now it is time to take them out to make my Christmas gifts. I am a little concerned because they have a lot of juice now that they have defrosted, but I am going to follow your directions and hope for the best. Thank you so much. P.S. The one problem I always have is trying to figure out the canning time for my altitude of 5,656 ft., I think I have it down pat to add 10 minutes to the recommended canning time for Water-bath. P.S.S.. (Next project: Chicken recipes..Yay.!! My first time for chicken/my second time for meat.. I followed your recipe for Roast and OMG it is fantastic. My husband is now a believer...lol ) If you have any advice for me, please let me know. Blessing to you, your husband and all your beautiful pupper-do's. ~SuzyJCinColorado~
Thanks Linda, I love to watch your video's making some fantastic stuff but this Plum Jam, is one I am most certainly going to try and make, only not such a huge amount (-: thanks again. X
I have not tried to do plum jam yet. I just finished canning some peaches and was going to attempt peach jam, We have sand plums growing here wild in some of our open spaces and was wondering would I do those the same way as you do plumbs. Thanks for sharing, I appreciate all your time and effort you put into helping and teaching us. Jac
Just thought of something...I read at one time of a recipe called pear honey that made use of the skins and cores of the pear harvest and processed them down with sugar to get something that they called pear honey. Sounds like ever such a frugal practice with a lovely sweet reward at the end. Have you ever come across such a thing?
Oh yea, thats what I'm talking about!!! Jam..., jam, and more jam!!! How much fun did you have making this batch of jam??? You have inspired me to cook-up and can some beautiful plum jam ~ wooo hooo!!! And it would make a great Christmas gift. Thanks for sharing!!! Be blessed, Candy :-0
I pitted my plums, cooked them till tender, ran them through a food mill, put them in a pot with half the recommended amount of sugar, brought them to a boil and simmered them till they were reduced by half. I put the 7 pint jars in the freezer but you can do a wax seal. While the jam simmers keep tasting and add sugar if you think it needs it. I don't use pectin.
Harlandale thanks for your video of about to try to can 38 lb are plums I heard you mention blessing a few times and sounds like your Christian I hope you are it be awesome to meet up with you someday in heaven so thanks for your hard work
Hi. Such a great vid as usual. I made some last month and it yielded 10 jars pint sized. I tried pluot jam also and mixed it with strawberries. Please try that too if you are interested. It is so good.
I use my All-American canner to cook my jam and preserves in. It's a nice and thick BIG pot that doesn't let the sugar burn as it boils. Just leave off the lid and cook.
I watch everything you do and I love your creativity and your willingness to try. This plum jam looks wonderful. How do you find the time to do everything you do? Amazing!
Those jars are beautiful! My mother-in-law has plum trees, but the plums are only marble sized, would they work? She won't use them and we hate to see them go to waste! Love your videos!
I Love the Pinging also..I am ready to start canning. I have lots of coupons for BOGO and $1.00 off. I think my sister has the canner. Lets see what I can get together and I will have my sister help me.!!! Thank You for all you do.
yum this looks wonderful we always get tons of plums - I have canned a few times with my husband but I want to be able to can all by myself. Is it true that canning lids are only good for a year now?
Perfect! Neighbors plum tree is dropping plums in my yard... sad part is that they don't even do anything with them... such a waste. I should be able to get enough to make a nice batch of plum jam. :)
When your doing a big batch like that at once, do you have a hard time getting the last of the jam in the jars as the jam is cooling and thickening? I did 3 batches of strawberry jam last night and cooked each batch separately and I put each batch in the canner because it was setting by the time I would fill the last couple of jars
You work so hard at all of this. I wonder where you get your energy? Thanks for sharing with us !! If I lived close to you, I`d come over and give you a hand. Just for one of those Zucchini fritters, or a bowl of chili. LOL
As a guy you have inspired me!!! I made an awesome batch of plum jelly.. I am trying peach jam...I know jam sits up loose compared to jelly but question is how loose??? do you have a video on peach jam.. can't wait..
My gosh those look so good! I would love to make some but no one around here wants to give away any fruit. And I can understand that! Jobs are hard to come by and people are just trying to survive by selling everything they can. If I get any pecans this year I may try selling them! LOL
It seems easy Linda. Do you have a small batch recipe you can pm to me? As in ratio if sugar, water and or pectin to fruit? I'd like to start with strawberry jam.
looks like the skins floated to the top. do you ever turn the jar upside down after 12 hours to redistribute? what about a blender to incorporate the skins with the flesh of the plums? looks good, I know how much work it is!!
My 24 quart heavy bottom stainless steel with a glass lid came from Sam's club for less than $60. I think I have had it a couple of years and it also doubles as a water bath canner. I just bought a stainless steel rack on line for about $20 so this pot is constantly in use throughout the summer.
I’m brand new to canning and have never done it before but would like to start. Someone recommended your channel to me. When you say to look at the ball book which one do you mean?
I am watching this about 10 years after you posted it! What a beautiful jam session. Mine turned out just as beautiful!
I am too, just going to attempt this recipe with dried plums :)
220 is setting temperature for jam. I like mine a little loose so go about 118. pectin free.
My wife just made 12 jars of homemade plum jam and 5 gallons of plum wine. Man she shredded her hands, ruined her nails and stained her nails too. I offered to help her but it took me ten minutes to prepare three plums lol. She was in despair and told me to leave it to her. Wine won’t be ready for a long old time as it’s chemical free, with no finings. Takes much longer to clear. The jam is delicious and my wife took great pride in giving a jar to neighbours, friends and family. I feel for you cause watching my wife made me realise how hard canning and all that is.
If you add the plum stones in the cooking fruit, they have pectin in them, then scoop the stones off the top as they will float..
I put my stones in a separate sause pan with a bit of water, is this ok to do..how long do I boil it?
WHAAAAT?! Bertie you just saved me so much time!
I also use the stones, I tie them up in a muslin cloth and place it in my pan while cooking the plums, As Burtie says they contain the pectin.
Looks great! I have a few full size plum trees that probably produce 500+ plums each. We eat them as fast as we can but they all come ripe at the same time. I am definitely going to try this in a few months when they are ready. We have blackberries in every creek and roadside brambles everywhere so I'll be trying my hand at that as well. I'll be trying apricot this year also now that my apricot and pluot trees are producing as well. Strawberries from the garden too.
Canning is such hard work Linda..... OMG! It takes so much time just to chop, clean, sterilize, cook & grow!!!! God bless you for it!
I should have mentioned I made plum jam using your method, and it was the best jam I think I've ever had. I kept the skins on and chopped them up. Wonderful. Thanks for the vid!

We have a cherry plum near us. It makes the most delicious syrup ever. A wonderful sweet/sour flavor.
I’m making plum jam now….so beautiful in the jar….used to make this with my grandma 💕she taught me so very much…miss you cookie
just finished my Plum Jam extravaganza!!! I made Plum jam w/cinnamon, w/allspice, plain and plum butter! they all were different and very good!
Gosh I love plum jam. This video is wonderful and if I was to try canning this is a simple straight forward video to follow. Thanks so much Linda they look wonderful.

This is weird. 10 years ago you posted this video, here I am, making plum jam on Labor Day weekend.
Have to reply....... it's a month later from your comment.... I'm working on the jam also.
I wish I had help everyone says they want to but when you ask they are always busy:)
And trust me you would go home a happy camper :)
Wow!! Beautiful jam. I'll be making plum jam tomorrow I hope.

Anyone with digestive problems should can their own food. It's the best tonic for your system.
Love canning! Lots of wok bu so much fun and so satisfying o see all those jars full :). When my Mom was live she and I used to can everything - fruit, jam, pickles, etc. thanks for sharing Linda!

Thank you so much that means a lot to me. And I can't wait for the videos:)
This video was so clear and easy to understand. Can you add culinary lavender or vanilla for an unusual flavor.
Ohh...those look lovely. Thanks for sharing.
I used white grape juice in place of water, turned out great.
I use my All-American canner to cook my jam and preserves in. It's a nice and thick BIG pot that doesn't let the sugar burn as it boils. Just leave off the lid and cook.
Those look beautiful :-) Linda you do inspire me, I'm gonna give canning a shot. First up your carrot jam. Thanks so much
Do you do anything with the seed scrapes? I'd boil them to get juice, at least I think that would work.
I watch everything you do and I love your creativity and your willingness to try. This plum jam looks wonderful. How do you find the time to do everything you do? Amazing!
Thank you I will check that out:)
Looks absolutely beautiful, but I wouldn't even use 1/2 the amount of sugar :)
Those jars are beautiful! My mother-in-law has plum trees, but the plums are only marble sized, would they work? She won't use them and we hate to see them go to waste! Love your videos!
Are they sand plums?
I Love the Pinging also..I am ready to start canning. I have lots of coupons for BOGO and $1.00 off. I think my sister has the canner. Lets see what I can get together and I will have my sister help me.!!! Thank You for all you do.
yum this looks wonderful we always get tons of plums - I have canned a few times with my husband but I want to be able to can all by myself. Is it true that canning lids are only good for a year now?
Thank you I am glad it is helping you:)
Yes we are:)
Oh linda, your always inspiring me...
I'm going to make this tommorrow....Soooo GLAD you shared...Thx :D
Just canned a bunch of blueberries double the pectin turned out fantastic..
Perfect! Neighbors plum tree is dropping plums in my yard... sad part is that they don't even do anything with them... such a waste. I should be able to get enough to make a nice batch of plum jam. :)
Making Plum jam on Monday!! 🤗❤️
When your doing a big batch like that at once, do you have a hard time getting the last of the jam in the jars as the jam is cooling and thickening? I did 3 batches of strawberry jam last night and cooked each batch separately and I put each batch in the canner because it was setting by the time I would fill the last couple of jars
You work so hard at all of this. I wonder where you get your energy? Thanks for sharing with us !! If I lived close to you, I`d come over and give you a hand. Just for one of those Zucchini fritters, or a bowl of chili. LOL
As a guy you have inspired me!!! I made an awesome batch of plum jelly..
I am trying peach jam...I know jam sits up loose compared to jelly but question is how loose??? do you have a video on peach jam.. can't wait..
It's blessed up Plum's Man !
Thank you for hanging out with me:)
:)))That is me smiling at you!
My gosh those look so good! I would love to make some but no one around here wants to give away any fruit. And I can understand that! Jobs are hard to come by and people are just trying to survive by selling everything they can. If I get any pecans this year I may try selling them! LOL
Thank you very much for the recipe! I did one batch and omg it’s delicious!!!
I am so happy:)
Thank you for the inspiration!
Any time!
Hi linda love your bottling just cant get lids south africa it's very bad I've got bottles no lids
Go to the Ball canning book Girl that is where all my recipes stem from:)
Thank u for the video. Good job
Linda, Where did you get that red scraper/scoop? I love it! Thanks for another great video. I am buried in Green Gage and wild plums.
she is such an inspiration!!! I love her and thank you:)!!!
Now you inspire me to do more youuuu:)
It seems easy Linda. Do you have a small batch recipe you can pm to me? As in ratio if sugar, water and or pectin to fruit? I'd like to start with strawberry jam.
looks like the skins floated to the top. do you ever turn the jar upside down after 12 hours to redistribute? what about a blender to incorporate the skins with the flesh of the plums?
looks good, I know how much work it is!!
see you using fresh plums do not have any fresh plums i have dryed plum piece do you think that would be okay to try to make plum jam
My 24 quart heavy bottom stainless steel with a glass lid came from Sam's club for less than $60. I think I have had it a couple of years and it also doubles as a water bath canner. I just bought a stainless steel rack on line for about $20 so this pot is constantly in use throughout the summer.
Linda I have a blackberry bush I have a lot. Of them in the freezer. How do you make jam with them. They have a ton of seeds. Thank you
If I can do it anyone can:) Let me know how it goes:)
That sounds amazing:)
Yeah....
It would have been more for if I had help:) but I love it so there you go:)))
I’m brand new to canning and have never done it before but would like to start. Someone recommended your channel to me. When you say to look at the ball book which one do you mean?
You got beautiful stainless steel pots!
Thank you:)
