It occurred to me that someone must have married the flavors of plums and almonds . . . . if you look at the pit of a plum, nectarine, or peach, you can see a resemblance to an almond.
I think I like the rustic look of the first one of these: the second is nice but not my style.

Another batch of plum jam today . . . somehow 3 pounds of plums made 4 16 oz jars yesterday but only 3 today. This batch will be better, I think, since I used pectin rather than relying on the plums’ natural reserves of it. I’m surprised how easy the process is: if I had known, I would have started doing this years ago. With a summer like the one we’re just finishing, it’s a shame not to put stuff up: there has been so much of everything.
