Directions
Plum Jam, Mrs C Alfred Bergsten’s recipe from the Philathea Cook Book of Elim Baptist Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota from 1945 She noted until the recipe name Very Good This is a base recipe- it is always 2 cups sugar for every 1 cup of chopped plums you have , Added a spice sachet with a cinnamon stick, 5 whole allspice, and 4 whole cloves to the pot while cooking It simmered for about 30 minutes The result: lovely spiced plum jam I also reduced to sugar to 3/4 cup per cup of fruit, and next time might go with even less , This is an OK basic recipe I think the sugar to fruit ratio is way too high unless you have very tart fruit and like your jam very sweet I also think the cooking time is way too short That said, the jam I mad with tweaks is fantastic, so the recipe can’t be all bad I had very ripe plums so used 3/4 cup of sugar for each cup of fruit (4c red plums to 3c sugar) The jam is still a little sweet for my liking but the family loves it I also added a spice sachet with a cinnamon stick, 5 whole allspice, and 4 whole cloves to the pot while cooking It simmered for about 30 minutes The result: 5 half pints jars of lovely sweet spiced plum jam
