We cannot get figs in this part of the country, would you consider selling me some of our fig jam? I would love to have some for my Christmas recipes.

I have several plum trees in my backyard and was sooo excited to see this recipe. As I was getting tired of making Plum wine jelly. Unfortunately they did not turn out well. I think I filled the jars alittle too much and some of them siphoned out. I tried one of the jars later and the plums had turned bitter. : ( – not sure what I did wrong.

Just made one little pint and a half of these to use up the plums I had in the house, I think I will be headed to the farmers market later to get more! It was so easy!! I’m going to give some to my mom to eat over her yogurt and oatmeal this winter! Can’t wait to try it!

This looks like a great recipe. I almost want to throw a tempertantrum because I didn’t check this website first before I made the worst plum jam ever. I had about 10 pounds of cherry sized plums and this, I’m sure, would have been the perfect choice on how to preserve them. Live and learn! Sigh!!

I do have a question for you if you have time. You mentioned that it will spit syrup out and make the jars sticky but that it will still last a year. I processed my jam jars and they sealed but one sometimes there is jam on the outside of the jar under the ring. Are these still good or should I somehow reprocess them?

Thanks for all of your time building this website. You’ve done a fantastic job! It is quickly becoming my favorite!!!

[...] right, I just popped it into the jars, poured a syrup over top and processed. I wrote about the plums in honey, but as I look back through the archives, I realize I never managed to blog about the seckel pears [...]

Oh goodness – these are so delicious. I did five jars (!) of them in the fall. I struggled to find a way to use the leftover syrup (sweetening cocktails, topping oatmeal or yogurt), but couldn’t keep up. Then the other day I had the idea to use up some gelatin leftover from a baking project to make some plum-honey-cinnamon jello. Yum yum!
