Deselect All

1 1/2 pounds ripe red or black plums (5 to 7), chopped

1 cup sugar

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 sprig rosemary

Directions

Combine the plums, sugar and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a medium saucepan or Dutch oven. Toss well and let stand until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is juicy, about 20 minutes.
Wrap the rosemary sprig in a square of cheesecloth; tie closed. Add to the pan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer; cook, stirring occasionally and skimming off any foam, until thickened and the fruit is broken down, 30 to 35 minutes. Gently mash any large plum chunks with a potato masher or rubber spatula. Discard the rosemary. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Remove from the heat and let the jam cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour.
Transfer the jam to a jar or other airtight container. Refrigerate until cold and fully jelled, at least 2 hours. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
