Spiced Purple Plum Jam

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   {'id': 'step_0', 'step': 1, 'text': 'Inspect 6 half-pint jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jam is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm, soapy water.'}

2. 2

   {'id': 'step_1', 'step': 2, 'text': 'Combine plums, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a wide, non-reactive 8-quart pot. Whisk sugar, pectin, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves together in a small bowl; stir into plum mixture until combined.'}

3. 3

   {'id': 'step_2', 'step': 3, 'text': 'Bring plum mixture to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-high; cook, stirring frequently, adjusting heat as needed to maintain a gentle boil until thickened and reduced by at least ⅓, 20 to 25 minutes.'}

4. 4

   {'id': 'step_3', 'step': 4, 'text': 'Pack jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within ½ inch of tops. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around insides of jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.'}

5. 5

   {'id': 'step_4', 'step': 5, 'text': 'Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes. Turn off heat, remove cover, and let jars stand in the cooling water to help ensure a good vacuum seal, 5 minutes.'}

6. 6

   {'id': 'step_5', 'step': 6, 'text': 'Remove jars from the stockpot; rest, several inches apart, to cool completely before checking seals, 12 to 24 hours. Press centers of lids with a finger to ensure lids do not move up or down. Any unsealed jars should be refrigerated and eaten promptly. Remove rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area. Sealed jars are shelf-stable at least 1 year.'}
