I love jams, of all types. I have a special place in my heart for plum jams, there are so many different types of plums out there, that it never tastes the same way twice, but it always tastes great. This lovely recipe is quick, delicious and easy to make with few ingredients. No pectin is required in this lovely treat. Truly, there is nothing better than fresh bread, salty butter and delicious sweet jam.
