PLUM JEWELRY


While I was gone to Washington State, my dear sweet hubby picked the plums from our tree, sent a bunch through the juicer and made the juice into jelly. The jars of sweetness look like jewelry.

When DH was teaching at the university he had summer breaks from work.  I didn't in my job.  With a little instruction from me, he took over the task of making jams and jellies.  He has become quite skilled at the job don't you think?

    I'm interested in the method of juicing the fruit first - I cook the fruit, then put it into a 'jelly bag', for the juices to drip through, then make the jelly.

    My other half makes pickles and chutneys. But these plum jellies are definitely jewels.

    Oh how I miss plum jelly! My grandmother used to make it from potawatomi plums and sometimes I still dream about that taste . . . I'd say he's a keeper!

    They're gorgeous. I love the way they glow in the light. Do they taste as good as they look?
