Easy Jalapeno Plum Jam

 2 1/2 c chopped plum

1 1/4 c sugar

1/2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

1/2 c sugar

4 Tbsp pectin

1/4 tsp cinnamon

4-6 minced jalapeno slices

• Wash and chop plums. 
• Place all of the plums in a large pot on the stove on medium heat and mash. 
• Add the 1 1/4 c sugar and 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice, then turn up to medium-high heat. 
• Add the 1/2 c of sugar and boil again, stirring constantly while boiling for 1 minute. Then add cinnamon and jalapenos.  Taste and adjust heat to your preferences. 
• Turn down to low and test your jam to ensure it has thickened.  Each batch can vary a little because plums can vary in terms of juiciness and sweetness.  
• Fill hot jars with warm jam, then seal and process in a water bath.
