Time 40m

Yield 5 half pints

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 cups purple plums, chopped before measuring (10 to 12 plums)
1 cup water
2 cups granulated sugar
4 teaspoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Place sugar, lemon juice and plums in a deep 8 cup microwavable container (I use a pyrex measure).
  • Microwave, uncovered on High for 2 1/2 minutes, stir. REPEAT twice more.
  • Microwave, uncovered, on High 15 - 18 minutes, STIRRING every 4 minutes until it will form a gel.
  • Ladle into hot sterilized jars. Wipe rims, remove any air bubbles, add hot lids and rings.
  • Process 5 minutes in boiling water bath.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful plums: The quality of your plums will greatly impact the taste of your jam. Look for plums that are deep in color, slightly soft to the touch, and free of blemishes.
  • Use a microwave-safe bowl: Make sure the bowl you use to make the jam is microwave-safe. Glass or ceramic bowls are good options.
  • Stir the jam regularly: Stirring the jam regularly will help to prevent it from scorching and will also help the sugar to dissolve evenly.
  • Cook the jam until it reaches the desired consistency: The cooking time will vary depending on the type of plums you use and how thick you want the jam to be. Cook the jam for a shorter amount of time if you want a looser jam, or cook it for a longer amount of time if you want a thicker jam.
  • Let the jam cool completely before storing: Once the jam is cooked, let it cool completely before storing it in jars. This will help to prevent the jam from spoiling.

Conclusion:

Microwave plum jam is a quick and easy way to enjoy the delicious taste of plums. With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes in the microwave, you can make a batch of jam that is perfect for spreading on toast, using as a filling for pies and pastries, or enjoying on its own.
