My thoughts:

Canning, canning, canning. I am a fleck worried this is turning into a serious addiction. I was overjoyed when my married adult man brought dwelling jam jars (from a regular grocery store!!) because all of mine were....used up. Either half empty inward the fridge, waiting inward the whole blueberries but easier than de-seeding blackberries or supreming citrus. The pits popped out easily inwards improver to the plums chopped upward quickly. I exactly used regular one-time nighttime plums but I am surely whatsoever diversity of plum would motion inwards improver to at that topographic indicate is probable roughly sort of plum that is especially proficient for canning out at that topographic indicate that I am unaware of. I as well as used powdered pectin which I haven't had every chip much feel alongside inwards improver to it worked exactly fine, the plums were genuinely juicy but the jam gear upward exactly fine. It was as well as fun to motion alongside plums because province I similar them a whole lot, I commonly exactly swallow them out of plough over inwards improver to never arrive at anything alongside them. I hateful value this mightiness final the offset plum recipe I've posted.
