If you can get fresh black plums and they are not too expensive, try
making a batch of plum jam. It was one of the best things I made last
year. Just follow the directions in the SureJel or Certo box.

My tangerine marmalade was also pretty good if I may say so myself (and
I may), and fresh tangerines should be showing up in the stores pretty
soon. You don't need to buy pectin to make marmalade because citrus
fruits have oodles of pectin. (that's a technical term)

Best regards,
