After all that work, why risk having your jam go bad? There's lots of things we used to do, that we don't any more because we know better from science and research. I always water bath process my preserves and I can be sure that because of it, no one will become ill from eating what I prepare. What you do in your kitchen is your business, but I do not think it is very responsible to promote a method that is not recommended if you want optimum flavour and food safety.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33926326.post-32996920328550438832011-08-18T16:17:32.550-04:002011-08-18T16:17:32.550-04:00Is it accurate that I shouldn't use ripe plums...Is it accurate that I shouldn't use ripe plums (soft)???

I find that at least a few times a year I'll make some "long-keeping" jam that's full of sugar, but more often I'll reduce it and just have it around for a few weeks in the fridge. It never lasts that long!

Sterilizing ...That's funny I do just the opposite. Sterilizing jars seems like such a pain, so I process my jars for 10 minutes (I have to anyway actually, actually since I live 1,000 ft/ 200 meters above sea level). I have also never had a jar seal prior to processing, but then these lousy European one piece lids are harder to seal anyway.<BR/><BR/>This jam looks delicious by the way. Plum season seems about over here, but I'll keep an eye out so I can make this.Varinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09514410260798360800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33926326.post-1388841122981713932008-09-26T14:09:00.000-04:002008-09-26T14:09:00.000-04:00Hi Abigail- How sweet!

Well, I managed to get a batch that didn't even pop after a 10 minute, rolling boil bath after filling! I am not lucky. Or I'm no good at canning, hmph. Love the cute jars! Did you have a hard time filling them and removing the bubbles? Those are the ones that never "popped" for me. I wonder if I didn't have enough head space, or too much? OK, I'm done with my novel. :) Love the color of that jam, and it sounds delicious!LyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17504659088765433358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33926326.post-40692770162613164962008-09-26T13:59:00.000-04:002008-09-26T13:59:00.000-04:00I'm even lazier when it comes to canning.

If you don't hear the lids pop then use those ones first and store in the fridge. This jam looks very yummy.Cheryl Arkisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13552721454371060936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33926326.post-85557450347762295652008-09-26T12:33:00.000-04:002008-09-26T12:33:00.000-04:00We just did a canning class at the grocery store a...We just did a canning class at the grocery store and I was stunned at how easy it was...even if you do use a hot bath/pressure cooker. How was this not on my radar?!? We discussed the "just using sterile jars" approached and agreed that, as long as you have a vacuum seal, the contents will be protected.<BR/><BR/>I would love to come up with a canning project that includes arranging ingredients around the outside edges...potential for some beautiful shelf decoration.<BR/><BR/>You have such a lovely design sense, I imagine your jars would be beautiful (if Noah's cake is any indication...).Brenda P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15706976926804565629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33926326.post-42597435034581299582008-09-26T11:22:00.000-04:002008-09-26T11:22:00.000-04:00I used to process my jam in boiling water, but hav...I used to process my jam in boiling water, but have given that up.
