So the idea was for the second batch to be plum preserves. According to the canning book, the plums in the preserves were supposed to hold their shapes in the jar. Haha. Well, we started out with pitted plum halves, but ended up with plum jam. I'm a little disappointed, but this second batch of plum jam is even more jelled than the first batch, so at least we made an improvement. I still love the idea of a beautiful jar full of plum halves, so if anyone has any thoughts--or knows how we might accomplish that next year, please do comment.
