Damson Plum Jam - "Irene"

Picked 15 lbs of damsons from Mood's in Mullica Hill on Friday before the storm.  Thats a lot of pits. Took me hours to pit but now I have lots of jam.
Recipe:
ratio sugar to jam - 3/4 cup sugar to 1 cup chopped fruit
juice of 1 lemon for every 5 cups or so of fruit.

I made 2 batches one with about 10 cups fruit tand the other with 12 cups. I threw and extra cup of sugar in each batch becasue the fruit wasnt really ripe..maybeshould of added little more.

I did add some pction at the ndof the recipe, about 1 pouch for doublebatch. cooked about 30-40 minutes folled by 15 min bath.

its a little tart but good. See what mother says about quantity of sugar.

It would be really nice to have 2 mauviel jam pots!
