The First Two batches of Plum Jam of 2014!

Plumpocalypse came early this year, due to the drought. My Gay Boyfriend had already composted about 65lbs of plums over the last two weeks, before I came home.

The really good news: the new net system worked REALLY well! They made it so much easier to collect the plums, with a lot less of a mess. So wonderful that we got it figured out.

My Mom helped me with the first batch. I was able to recall the recipe and steps from last year. Not hard, just takes a while.

By the end of the night, we had finished our first two batches of Plum Jam of the season. 30 jars total! (My parents had taken one jar home before I took the final photo.)
