Cinnamon Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I made a batch of the River Cottage preserves book plum jam last week & it is heaven So I thought I would make some more for the Christmas Hampers. Stupidly I didn't read the instructions properly & threw the sugar into the preserving pan on top of the fruit without cooking the plums in water for 20 mins first Apparently the sugar will make the skins go tough - do you reckon I will get away with sieving it or picking the skins out?
