How to cook deliciously - Clove-Spiced Plum Jam

1. Stage

Wrap cloves in cheesecloth or a spice sack; set aside.

2. Stage

Inspect 9 glass jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jam is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.

3. Stage

Combine plums, lemon juice, water, and pectin in a large, deep saucepan over low heat. Bring to a boil.

4. Stage

Add sugar and cloves. Cook, stirring continuously, until sugar dissolves and mixture reaches 220 degrees F (104 degrees C), 3 to 5 minutes. Remove and discard cloves.

5. Stage

Pour jam into sterilized jars. Wipe any drips off lip of jars, and add lids. Place on a damp towel to cool and self-seal; you will hear a popping sound as jam cools, about 2 hours.
