Author Notes
This is a simple homemade jam made with plums (called confiture de prunes in French and very popular in the households of France). The recipe follows the method commonly used in France to make most fruit jams. The ideal season for plums is from August to October and you can convert them to jam in late summer to enjoy it through the fall. —Mitanti Ghosh Sarkar
