Plum and Pluot Jam

I went to Costco and Trader Joe’s last week. Costco had some really fantastic looking plums and Trader Joe’s had a couple of varieties of Pluots (a hybrid of plum and apricot), so, of course, I had to get some. I didn’t taste the pluots because I was pretty sure that I just barely had enough to make jam with, but I tried the plums (multiple times) and they are great.

I worked with the pluots first and followed the instructions on the regular Ball powdered pectin. This made 4 pints.

Next I worked with the plums (after taste testing extensively). Plum jam is just gorgeous in the jar, and it is one of my favorite kinds of jam.
