And, this is what you do with an over abundance of these golden delicious fruits...make plum jam.
I have to say this was a very easy recipe. It called for plums, sugar and a little water. One of the directions was to boil the fruit and sugar to the jelling point, about 220 degrees. But, I didn't have a thermometer, so I just guessed. The jam turned out not to be so much of a jam, but more like a thick sauce. Maybe my guessing at the temperature and boiling time was a flop, but I know for a fact it's delicious on an English muffin because that was breakfast, this morning.
