That plum jelly looks good!
I was looking at plums in the store yesterday - I need to make another batch of Plum Sauce.
Question - The last batch of Plum sauce I made turned brown - the first 2 batches stayed a nice cheery red color, but the brown is a little off-putting for DH. I used black plums from the grocery store. Should I buy red plums instead? They are harder to find for some reason.

Now that I have a steam canner, it is so much more convenient to can stuff than the whole boiling water bath process.

Use fruit fresh. It is in the canning section along with the jars and etc.

It is a good thing I had a lot of lemons! There is lemon zest in all three layers!

Yep, a lot of grating. But worth it I think, that zest adds a nice freshness to the dessert.
