Making jam is so much easier than I thought it would be!

You will need:
1kg of yellow plums. You can use your favorite fruit 
(eg. strawberries, blackcurrants, blackberries etc) 
1kg jam sugar
The juice of 1/2 a lemon

Method:
Take the skin off and the stone out of the fruit, put in a heavy bottomed saucepan. Soften the fruit over a medium heat then add the sugar and lemon juice. Bring to the boil and keep stirring, put a teaspoon into the mixture and pull it out again, set it aside to cool, push the mixture up the spoon and if it wrinkles then the jam is done. Leave it to cool and then put into clean jars.
