Plum Jam Rustic Homemade Plum Jam with a Hint of Lemon Ingredients: 4 cups ripe plums, pitted and chopped (skins on) 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 teaspoon lemon zest 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for depth) Directions: Place chopped plums in a large saucepan over medium heat.
