Yield Makes about 6 8-ounce glasses

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 pounds underripe red plums
3 cups water
Port wine
6 cups sugar
6 tablespoons liquid pectin

Steps:

  • Pit the plums. Tie the pits in a cheesecloth bag. Cut the fruit into quarters. Simmer the plums, pits and water in a covered saucepan over medium heat for one hour, or until the fruit is almost reduced to a pulp. (To hasten the process, mash the fruit coarsely after it has cooked a while.) Discard the pits and force the pulp through a coarse sieve or a food mill. Place the purée in a jelly bag and let it drip overnight. (If you do not have a jelly bag, line a colander with 4 thicknesses of cheesecloth and set over a bowl.) The next day, measure the juice and add enough port wine to make 3 cups of liquid altogether. Combine the liquid and sugar in a large pot and bring to a full rolling boil over high heat. Add pectin and continue to boil hard, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Skim the top and pour into hot, sterilized jelly glasses. Cover with a thin layer of melted paraffin. When the paraffin has hardened, cover the glasses and store.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. The jelly was a bit too sweet for my taste and it didn't have a lot of flavor.

This jelly is a bit too tart for me. I think I'll try adding a bit more sugar next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my jelly didn't turn out as thick as I expected. It's still tasty, but it's more like a syrup than a jelly.

This jelly is so smooth and spreadable. It's the perfect consistency for using on toast or crackers.

I love the color of this jelly! It's so vibrant and beautiful. It really makes a statement on a cheese plate.

This jelly is a great way to use up leftover plums. It's also a very versatile condiment. I've used it on toast, crackers, and even ice cream. It's always a hit.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of plums, but I'm so glad I did! The jelly is delicious and the port wine adds a nice depth of flavor. I've already shared the recipe with my friends and family.

This jelly is so easy to make and it tastes amazing. I love the way the plum and port wine flavors come together. It's the perfect addition to a cheese plate or to use as a glaze for ham or chicken.
