Jelly-style plum jam
Lots of people make plum jam, but you can also elevate this to a rather elegant jelly, simply by removing the skins.
It's not a true jelly (this is normally made with juice), but leans towards that style: light and, above all, delicious.

Several monthsStep by step recipe
Stage 1 - 5 min.
The day before, rinse and dry 800 g plums.
Stage 2 - 10 min.
Cut the plums in half, remove and discard the stones. Put the fruit into a large bowl.
Stage 3 - 12 hours
Sprinkle 600 g caster sugar over, mix in briefly, cover and leave overnight.
Stage 4
Next day, you will find the plums covered with a syrup – just what we are after.
Stage 5 - 12 min.
Transfer the plums with their syrup to a large pan on high heat and bring to the boil.
Turn down the heat and leave to simmer for 2 minutes.

Stage 8 - 2 min.
Discard the skins and return the contents of the bowl to the pan on medium heat.
Stage 9 - 8 min.
Bring to the boil and skim off any scum to keep the jelly nice and clear.
Stage 10 - 2 min.
In a bowl, mix 40 g jam gelling agent and 100 g caster sugar with a whisk.
Note that the correct proportion is 40 g of gelling agent per kilo of fruit+sugar. If you end up with a different weight of fruit+sugar, you can recalculate this amount:

Stage 11 - 2 min.
Tip this mixture into the pan (still on the boil) and mix in with a whisk.
Stage 12 - 13 min.
Wait until it comes back to the boil and cook for a further 3 minutes.
Stage 13 - 5 min.
Pour the jelly into jars.
Stage 14 - 2 min.
Seal the lids and turn the jars upside down. The air trapped in the jars will be sterilised naturally as it passes up through the boiling hot jam.
Stage 15 - 2 min.
Turn the jars back the right way up and leave to cool. Store in the dark.
Stage 16
Enjoy your plum jelly at your leisure. On a simple slice of toast with a bit of decent butter, it's a real treat.
Remarks
Of course, if you leave the skins in, this will give you a normal plum jam – which is great, too. In this case, I recommend cutting the plums in half or into quarters as this makes the jam easier to spread.
All types of plums (Victoria, damsons, mirabelles, greengages...) are suitable for this recipe.
