Plum Jam Rustic Homemade Plum Jam with a Hint of Lemon Ingredients: 4 cups ripe plums, pitted and chopped (skins on) 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 teaspoon lemon zest 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for depth) Directions: Place chopped plums in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add lemon juice and zest. Stir occasionally and cook for about 10 minutes, until the plums begin to break down and release their juices. Add sugar and cinnamon (if using).
