2 lbs. plums
5 ½ cups sugar

1 teaspoon of cinnamon

Pit 2 pounds plums, do not peel. Finely chop into 1/4 inch pieces. Add to a 1/4 cup of water and simmer 5 minutes.

Stir sugar into the plum/water mixture. Add the cinnamon and stir well. Remove from heat and set aside for 10 minutes.

Mix 3/4 cup water and 1 box Sure-Jell pectin in a small saucepan. Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Continue boiling for 1 minute. Stir the mixture into the fruitand sugar.

Stir constantly for 3 minutes. Fill clean, dry containers immediately to within 1/2 inch of the tops. We used plastic container jars, but you can use glass jars. Wipe off the top edge of containers and quickly cover with lids.
