  • First, rinse the plums under running water and pull off any leaves and stems. With a sharp knife, halve each plum and remove the pit. The pits come away easily from ripe — even overripe — fruit, but very soft plums will give you more of a jam-like preserve than a chunky one. Cover the plums with the sugar and let them sit for a few hours, ideally overnight; they'll release their juice and firm up. Set the pot over high heat, bring it to a boil, then cook for 5 minutes over medium heat. Pull the plums off the heat and let them cool a little. Put the pot back on the heat, but this time you don't need to cook it — just bring it back to a boil. Ladle the jam into sterilized jars while it's still hot and seal with lids. It keeps best in the refrigerator or a cellar, away from light and heat.
