Oddly, I never learned how she made it, she just always gifted it to us. Actually, I never had any other plum jam, but I loved her plum jam better than any other jam in the world. ![]() I’ve not worked a lot with plums in the past, but my Grandmother used to make the best plum jam. ![]() Two weeks ago, as I was returning home from dropping off a donation at the Senior Center Thrift Store, I noticed a sign on the side of the road that read, “FREE Italian Plums.” Well, I turned my car right around and headed back to check it out! The plums were gorgeous, so I grabbed one of my reusable grocery bags and loaded up (yes, I did leave some for others, the photo is proof -that’s what’s left and the box wasn’t even full when I got there)! It really is quite uncanny! Getting things for free is a great zero waste activity, as is giving or donating things yourself. My friend Pam has dubbed me the “Queen of Free.” I don’t know why, but I seem to always happen to run across wonderful free items, either from my local “ Buy Nothing” group, other groups on Facebook, a neighbor, or out in the wild along the side of the ride. It is important to consult safe canning resources, which are listed at the end of this post. Please note, this post is meant as an overview of canning and dehydrating plums and does not replace or represent itself to be an official guide for proper canning at home.
