How to Make Canned Plum Juice

• Begin by rinsing the plums and setting them aside.
• Prepare the syrup by adding sugar to a medium pot along with water.
• Stir the mixture and bring it to a boil, making sure that all the sugar granules dissolve. Once it reaches a boil, remove it from heat and set it aside to cool.
• Now, it is time to pack the plums into jars. Try to pack them in as tightly as possible to maximize space. Once the jars are packed, pour the cooled syrup into each jar, filling them to the top.
• Place 3 or 4 jars into a stove-top water bath canner pot, depending on the size of your canner. Fill the pot with cold water until the jars are submerged about ¾ of the way.
• Bring the water in the canning pot to a boil. You will know it is boiling when you see bubbles floating from the bottom to the top of the jars. Let the water in the canning pot boil for approximately 10 minutes.
• After 10 minutes, use your bare hands to screw the lids tightly onto the jars. Make sure they are screwed on properly and not sideways. Be cautious of the hot jars to avoid burning your hands.
• Once the lids are secured, use canning gloves or a canning utensil to carefully remove the jars from the pot. Flip each jar upside down and allow them to cool in this position. It is recommended to leave them overnight in this position to guarantee a proper seal.
• Drain the water from the canning pot and repeat the same process with the remaining jars of plums.
• Your delicious Plum Juice is ready!
