12.5kg blood plums (That's the variety I chose)

3Zest and juice of one lemon
41/2 cup water
51x 50g pack Jamsetta.

7Cut plums into quarters and remove stones.
8Add plums, sugar, lemon & zest and water to the slow cooker.
93hrs on high with the lid on, stirring occasionally; 1hr on low, lid off stirring occasionally.
10Blend (I like it smooth and thick v's chunky).
11Jamsetta is optional, makes it set thicker. I got a cup, used half of the jamsetta pack & some of the pured fruit to mix and added it in. Bottled it up and done!

We followed this recipe and cooked the plums on LOW for 7.5 hours. They made a good jam, although I did puree most of the plum mixture after 3 hours as I was concerned they weren’t pulping up fast enough. The lemon juice makes the jam tart – some of us like that flavour; others want to try it without the lemon juice. It was relaxing using a slow cooker – one didn’t have to worry about burning the jam.

Is making plum jam in a slow cooker successful.
Does it set ok or is the liquid the slow cooker creates too much.
By not adding any liquid would this be better.

Sounds good. I must try this using the slow cooker.
