Plum and apple jam

Plum and apple jam Nov 18 (1)

We still have lots of plums in the freezers so 3kg of them went into making plum and apple jam earlier this week. I added them to 2 kg of chopped apples, boiled them up together and simmered them so the apples could cook in the plum juice. 5kg of sugar was then added. End result: 18 jars of jam.

Good idea. I have an overloaded plum tree which will be ripe in December (Australia).
Slight variations make it all a bit more interesting. Am going to make plum chutney as well using apples.
I am just starting on my bee journey. Have two hives but no bees yet. Am looking into that great Aussie invention of Flow Hives to use as honey supers.
Congratulations on your self sufficiency.
