A new treat!

Ingredients (8 half-pints)

• 6 lbs plums, halved and pits removed
• 6 cups honey

Directions

1. Place the plums and honey in a heavy-bottomed jam pot, ensuring that they fill it no more than halfway (the jam will foam up during cooking).
2. Turn the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently to avoid scorching (8-10 minutes).
3. Once the mixture is boiling hard, turn the heat down a bit to medium or medium-high to prevent scorching or overflows. Continue to stir frequently, and cook until the jam reaches gel stage. (That's 220 degrees when tested with an instant-read thermometer). It should take roughly 20 minutes at a boil, or 30 minutes total cook time, but can vary based on the fruit used.
4. Once it reaches gel stage, ladle the mixture into prepared jars. Wipe, lid and ring. Waterbath for 5 minutes.
