Sweet Canning Plums

It’s funny how every year I tend to end up with a bunch of the same fruit or berry. This year I’ve gotten so many plums from friends and family I have struggled with coming up with an idea for them all, but I figured a recipe for canned plums was a must. I simply can’t get enough of what autumn has to bring! These wonderful, sweet and delicious canning plums can stay in your cuppoard for years and still be as delicious- used in desserts or devoured as is straight from the jar!

When canning fruit and vegeatbles it is crucial to use clean, sanitized jars which can be done two ways; boil the jars for a couple of minutes in a saucepan or on the oven for 10 minutes on a 100 degrees celius.

I love canning fruit and vegetables for winter- it’s such a great way to keep what the autumn gives us and especially so we can enjoy fruit and vegetables all through winter.
