I am in the lucky position where the farmer’s market comes to our office once a week. This is a great way to get people to eat more fruit and veg (put it right in front of them!) so I bought some pluots* and proceeded to make jam with them!<\/p>\n
4 pints of sorted, scrubbed, and chopped pluots – about 3lbs
\n1\/4 cup lemon juice – fresh squeezed or bottled
\n1\/2 cup Water
\n5 cups white sugar
\n1 packet pectin
\n1\/2 teaspoon vegetable oil (I use plain olive oil – not the extra virgin stuff)<\/p>\n
Put the chopped pluots in the pot with the water, lemon juice, pectin, and sugar. Heat gently while stirring vigorously to ensure the pectin is completely incorporated into the mix.<\/p>\n
Once the pectin is fully incorporated, apply medium-high heat while stirring frequently until the mixture comes to a full, rolling boil – a boil that cannot be stirred down. Keep boiling and stirring for at least 1 minute then take off the heat. If there is a lot of foam stir in the 1\/2 teaspoon of vegetable oil and allow to rest for 5 minutes.<\/p>\n
Once the 5 minutes is up, stir the mixture, jar, lid, ring, and boiling water bath process for 10 minutes, Yield: 8 to 10 jelly jars (1\/2 pint).<\/p>\n
