Going to make some for the first time this year. It has taken me 10 yrs to grow this tree from a twig! We have a really nice crop this year. Around 4 gallons of plums
awesome vid! to the point and not a step missing. i am 68 years old and havent done any canning for probably 30 years, kids got too grown up lol but i am now back full swing into canning and mt hubby and i noticed a wild plum just beckoning to us to do something with them. i am now half way through the batch and very excited to see the final result. thanks so much for sharing!
We have plums where I live in Roslyn Washington too! These trees were planted by the people who came here to work in the coal mines. My husband’s family has lived here for a generations and I’ve been told they used these primarily for plum wine and Brandy!
I don't have a video on the blackberry wine unfortunately. I've made a few wines from kits but the blackberry was my first time completely from scratch. I didn't feel confident enough about how it would turn out. It ended up being good, so if I make more in the future I'll probably make a video
On a different subject. There was an old tiny plum tree in the yard of a house my son bought. The previous owner said it was just decorative and “you can’t eat those tiny things”. The plums are a little bigger than your sand plums. My ancestors didn’t believe in “decorative fruits”. 🤣 I eat them fresh, make jam with them, dehydrate them, bake with them, make fruit leathers with them. How sad they were wasted all those years. 🥴
I am currently processing my wild plums here in Northern Ontario. I just discovered that the best thing to use to screen out the pits is my spaetzle dumpling dropper thing! Everything else is too large or too small. th-cam.com/video/pW1TJWei6Uo/w-d-xo.html

I grew up loving the flowers and the jelly.
I'm in Mustang, Ok. I'm coming to fish your ponds, thanks in advance!

I've been wanting to make wine from these, but the past two seasons haven't made enough. I had made wild blackberry wine though
Blackberry wine sounds absolutely amazing!!! Did you do a video on this? I would love to learn more!

Learning lots from you guys, I have never heard of these plums
Great recipe on the sand plums. Great clean technique used and excecated. You gotta love that pop when ya hear it. take care bye
Used this last year and now this year loved it. Best jam I made.
A small amount of unsalted butter while cooking the jam will reduce foaming.

Ya that is too bad good thing you figured out they were edible
From kansas here!!! My kids brought me a ton of sandplums and ask for jelly. How much water did you use to boil your sandplums?
😋😋😋
The bugs and animals usually get ours before we can get to them😩!! We have to pick ours a little early and let them ripen for a few days.
how much water if any did you add for the initial boil?
I’m not answering for Truth Seeker, but I didn’t add any water to my pulp. It kind of thinned out during boil. It turned out perfect. 😋

Wish I could smell the yummy
Why are you wearing a hat in the house. Especially that kind of house & in the kitchen??
I am making my sand plum jam and put a ball cap on my head to keep my hair out of the way and on my head. Lol.
