It is just the one from the Kraft sure-Jell website. I did add some cherry juice though to make it up to 5 and a half cups of fruit juice
SURE.JELL Plum Jam

Prep Time
1hr.
Total Time
1hr.
Servings
about 10 (1-cup) jars or 160 servings, 1 Tbsp. each

Add to Recipe Box
What You Need

• 6 cups prepared fruit (buy about 4 lb. fully ripe plums)
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 box SURE-JELL Fruit Pectin
• 1/2 tsp. butter or margarine
• 8 cups sugar, measured into separate bowl (See tip below.)

Make It
Tap or click steps to mark as complete

• Bring boiling-water canner, half full with water, to simmer. Wash jars and screw bands in hot soapy water; rinse with warm water. Pour boiling water over flat lids in saucepan off the heat. Let stand in hot water until ready to use. Drain well before filling.
• Pit plums. Do not peel. Finely chop or grind fruit; place in saucepan. Add water. Bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 5 min. Measure exactly 6 cups prepared fruit into 6- or 8-qt. saucepot.
• Stir pectin into fruit in saucepot. Add butter to reduce foaming. Bring mixture to full rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop bubbling when stirred) on high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in sugar. Return to full rolling boil and boil exactly 1 min., stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.
• Ladle immediately into prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with two-piece lids. Screw bands tightly. Place jars on elevated rack in canner. Lower rack into canner. (Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches. Add boiling water, if needed.) Cover; bring water to gentle boil. Process 10 min. Remove jars and place upright on a towel to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing middle of lids with finger. (If lids spring back, lids are not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.)

Hi everybody. Lost 2 chickens to heat this weekend so wasn't feeling too social and cried a lot. Hubs bbq'd steak and mushrooms to make me feel better we had the salad with. I hardboiled some eggs for a quick breakfast and I liked the way they looked in the bowl with low light so took a snap of those. Yea, I'm a geek. I've discovered that a dash of cinnamon on a banana with vanilla yogurt is quite good. Last snaps are fettuccine alfredo with bbq chicken thighs, done the night before with the steak. I found a honeydew that was bee kissed so it's sweet and juicy.

I'm going to get caught up now, have a great day everyone

Sorry for the losses Nice looking photos!

In the winter when people are worried about their chickens getting too cold...in California...I remind them that heat is much worse for chickens

Thanks going forward I'm changing my flock over to Naked Necks. They seem to handle the heat better than the rest. Lesson learned.

Spanish breeds do well too. Penedesenca is the hardiest but are hard to find. EO Basque hens do great and the UofA Blues do well too.

Surprisingly, Australorps are fairly good. Marans and orpingtons suck and heritage RIRs do not do very well.

Penedesencas do ok in the heat? I'm going to look into them, thanks!

We had the Aussies because of the heat and I expected them to be heavy when I picked them up based on size. They really didn't weigh more than my hatchery girls and had a LOT of feathers. Must have taken after the Orpington side of the family.
