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.Small Batch Plum Preserves in a bowl and in a jar with a plum and wooden knife

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 being used for centuries. Hence, you could make an extra jar or two and store in the freezer 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.
