We love your videos. Always learn something new and we are very inquisitive so consider that a big compliment. Just when one thinks they know a lot, they find there is always something else to learn. Wonderful.

Dicing up and mixing unripe plums with strawberries to make jam really reminds me of Rhubarb jam.

I'll bring the biscuits! That looks good Mark. Great idea for a pizza base. Yum!

I have been perfecting my jam using your method by cutting down the sugar. The best part is taste testing it LOL. This is my fourth time making jam thus far. I am not a jam lover but learning how to make and preserve them is fun. Can I have some fresh mangoes to make some mango jam, please? Haha! See, I am loving my new passion... :)

Mmmm. Looks good. The pizza looks amazing!

Looks good mate. I just planted a local Davidson plum - man, that tree must be all of 5 cm high!  LOL.

I think of myself as an adventurous cook but I have never heard of Jam on pizza.  I definitely believe you when you say its good so will have to give it a try.  So you reckon that pizza jam is best as 50% sugar to 100% fruit mix?  Great video mate and thanks for sharing.

[stephaniearnold]

great video!! Looks amazing! and probably tasted even more amazing! did it even need added sugar or do you think there's enough sugar in the fruits already?

[gardeningtipswithphil]

Some great tips there on making plum jam and jam in general Mark. Have you ever thought of substituting the sugar (I am assuming you are using white cane sugar) for something like stevia or even honey? I have a plum tree so I'll give plum jam a try, just got to check if I have enough plums. Have a good one mate :)

Man, that looks like some good stuff, Mark! My only problem would be my strong addiction to green plums with salt. I could never be able to save any ripe ones for jam ; )

[davidtrees]

Great video mate. I'm not into sickly sweet at all now days.

Jam base with pizza... OK, I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the video Mark... Cheers David.

This is the first year I have been able to harvest plums off one of my trees. Not sure of the variety. Plums are small (1 ounce each), heart shaped (small point on bottom until ripe). Deep red turning more purple when fully ripe. More or less sweet and mild but skins are bitter.

At any rate, I made a plum cobbler the other day using skins as well as inside of plums. It turned out very bitter (not tart), almost unpalatable. I see you cooked the whole plum. Any bitterness problem? Maybe I need to remove skins but given small size it would take a lot of work. I am looking for help as I want to make good use of these. The tree will probably produce 20 pounds or more.

Where does growe green plums in december and january

Mark, with what you used in this lot, how much sugar did you use? I know you said you used half the sugar for half the weight. Sorry I am still learning the lingo to making jam. I am like you, I don’t like the too sweet jam.
 
I did my first canning ever yesterday and it is also the first time I made a jam. I did the “Apricot, Ginger and Raspberry Jam recipe” that I came across the other week on a fb canning group. I tried to reduce the sugar on it for the purpose of not having it too sweet and it turned out great for a first timer. But, it’s a lil runny compared to yours. I guess I will improve it when I do another one soon. :D
