Moms Plum Povidla Recipe


Moms Plum Povidla Recipe
This is a plum jam I make each year and the family loves it. My mom used to make it each year too. It can be used as a glaze for pork, ribs, or just on bread with butter.

Ingredients
  • Plums - the kind that are dark purple on the outside and green or yellow on the inside and are oblong - they are usually referred to as Italian plums - they are available in the fall. I order a case - about 10 lbs which yields about 6 - 16oz jars
  • about 1/2 cup water

Directions
  1. Wash plums
  2. Split plums and remove pits
  3. Add water to a heavy bottomed pan and add the plums
  4. Set on low to medium heat and cook for about 3 hours stirring occasionally
  5. Jam is ready when it's consistency is that of thick batter
  6. Pour into sterilized jars and seal
  7. You may add 1/2 cup to 1 cup of sugar to this to facilitate gelling but it's not necessary
  8. This jam is the base for my BBQ sauce and can be changed by not boiling it quite as long. It will then become more liquid and less sweet and more tart.

Thanks for posting it; we were looking for this very thing!

When you seal the jars, do you do it by processing them in a boiling water bath, and if so, how long do you process them for?


For this recipe I pack the sterilized jars hot and leave till they seal. I have never had one fail. My mother also didn't process the jars at all - just packs em hot.
