It's time to make beach plum jam from the beach plums that I foraged last fall. I have 3.5 kg of frozen beach plums. Product pics later. #BeachPlums #jam #foraging #CapeCod #NationalSeaShore
Here's the 3 kg of beach plum. Boil to break down the skins and open the flesh to expose the pits. #BeachPlums #jam
Next, a food mill separates the pits and skins from the juices. Such an easy process with this marvelous tool. #BeachPlums #jam
Here's the 1 kg of pits and skins from the 3 kg of beach plums. #BeachPlums #jam
Here's the 2 kg of beach plum with a mountain of sugar, orange rind and juice, lemon juice, and cinnamon sticks. #BeachPlums #jam
Lastly - the canned product. I made 12 half-pints, most of which will be given to friends and family, plus a 10 Oz jar for personal use, starting with dinner tonight. #BeachPlums #jam
