Heavy Syrup:
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 to 2 lb. plums
|
Prepare syrup. In a large stainless-steel pot, stir sugar into water. Cover and bring to a boil, stirring as necessary. Add plums and simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes, stirring carefully with a long-handled fork, only as necessary. Remove preserves from heat. Ladle into hot scalded jars, leaving 1/4 inch headroom, and seal at once with snap lids and screw bands.
