I’ve had these plums for some time and although the kids love eating them raw, they were starting to soften. And I didn’t want to end up throwing them away. They were too juicy to bake with so I decided to make jam. But knowing my kids and the amount of energy sugar gives them, I wanted something healthier that they would still love. So I found this amazing recipe for No Sugar Plum Jam by The Woman and the Wheat. I’m so happy I found it and got to try it. It’s absolutely amazing! Try it out if you get a chance. You’ll love it on some toast in the morning. Yum!
Not too many plums but enough for a yummy breakfast
I added 2 cups of water but you can leave it out. Plums have enough juice and it won’t take you too long to boil
1 cup honey
Juice of 1 lemon
Simmer for about 1 hour or until it’s as thick as you like it

That would probably be nice on top of plain yoghurt, too.
Absolutely! I hadn’t thought of that. Thanks for the idea 🙂
Over here in France, it’s very common to put jam in plain yoghurt! If you make your own jam it’s a lot healthier than buying flavoured yoghurt, there is much less sugar (even if you use sugar to make your jam!) and you know exactly what’s in it.
You are so right. I don’t like flavored yogurt. I always buy plain and add fruit to it. Now I’ll be adding home made jam too. Yumm! 🙂
Sounds and looks like heaven. Guilt-free heaven, too. 🙂
Hehe yes! 😉 😉
What a gorgeous colour! Beautiful!!
Thank you. It’s very yummy too 🙂
Awesome! So glad the recipe worked for you. Just so you know, I don’t post much on the Woman and the Wheat anymore, (but will when I bake) but I’ve also started a new blog where I’ll share recipes, and thoughts about my life here in beautiful Santa Barbara. http://www.janegmeyer.com/blog/
All the best!
That’s great!! I’ll make sure k follow it. Thank you :))
Do you know the shelf life of this jam? Can it be stored in the cupboard till its open or does it have to be stored in the fridge? Thanks
I stored it in the fridge because I didn’t seal it. It was good for about 10-12 days.
