Small Batch Plum Preserves is a sweet tasty topping for waffles, pancakes, crepes, crackers, bread, or ice cream. The plums this year have been outstanding! Super delicious and extremely pretty. However, I can’t remember the variety name of this beautiful red plum. In any case, these preserves are so good. In any case, if you would like more preserves just double or triple. Now is the time to preserve this delectable fruit.A small freezer jar with plums and a hot pad in the background.

Small Batch Plum Preserves

Homemade anything is always way better than anything you could buy in the store. Needless to say, I know in America most jams and jellies are made with pectin. This is a preservative and is fine if you are using a water bath canner. However, I was just making one jar to last for a short period of time. What are the two best preservatives? Salt and Sugar. They have been used for centuries. Hence, you could make an extra jar or two and store it in the freezer for no more than 6 months. In conclusion, as with anything if it looks off or smells weird or if mold has grown the rule of thumb is to throw it out.

Consequently, this makes approximately 1 1/2 cups of preserves. Nutritional Facts are below and are based on one teaspoon per serving.

Personal Notes:

Fall is here. For me, it means time to make some jams or preserves. In Idaho where I grew up most families canned and preserved their food. As a matter of fact, my dad was a butcher. It is for this reason that my husband and I own a large freezer. I often purchase meat or poultry when on sale. Of course, this recipe is also refined sugar-free.

This year I tripled the recipe and placed two jars in the freezer.

Finally, boil another 10 minutes or so. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Once cooled place preserves into a sterilized glass jar with a screw-top lid. Lastly, place it in the refrigerator. Preserves are good for 3 to 4 months. Makes approximately 1 1/2 cups in about 3 half-pint jars. You can also process in a canner. If canning, follow the canning manufacturer’s directions.Small Batch Plum Preserves in a jar and some on a spoon with a plum, plum slices, and flowers in the background.
