Wild Plum Jelly

[Ishi]

When I was picking wild Black Raspberries I found the wild Blackberries then when picking them I found the wild Plums.

As I took my daily walk I kept an eye on the plums. I’ve never seen many wild plums and wasn’t sure when they would ripen up.
I went back after a week’s absence and they were ready to go and I had no bag so the next day I was ready. I had to crunch my time as the Canada fishing trip was a few days off. If I waited till I got back they would be done.

I prefer jelly so jelly it is. Cooking them down

The juice from the first batch

First batch processed and water bathed

First taste test and awesome results

I’ll pick more tomorrow before heading out and will process the juice then freeze it and make two more batches when I return.

Very nice! Looks delicious. Nice work.

I have a little plum tree in the yard that puts on plums that look just like those.
