CANNING PLUMS

Nothing could be easier, really, Piece of cake, piece of crumb cake!
Step One: Buy plums or pick them off your tree.

Step two: Put them in your sink with cold water, wash them.

Step three: Put them in quart jars.

Step four: Boil 5 1/4 cups water with 2 1/4 cups sugar for a light syrup. Bring to boil and tunr off.

Step five: Pour boiling water into quart jars with the plums (have to be specific here).

Step six: Put new lids on, screw bands on firmly. Place in canning pot or you can use one of your deepest pots with atowel at the bottom or a round cooling rack (just so the bottom is padded. Cover jars with water. Bring to boil for about 15 minutes. Remove from water and place on towel to cool. You will hear them pop. That pop is the satisfaction that you have been successful.

I like to start the canning pot with water in it before I start this process. I like to put the hot jars into hot water. The process is really fast this way.

You have to do it. It is so economical and easy. You know what you put in it and where it has been. What could be finer?

Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it! Then let me know how you did. Would love to hear about it. Questions, ideas, whatever. Let me know.
