Like Nora mentioned below, the plum canning process was in fact a storm! Nora, Karen, Bonnie, Ellen, Masina, and I (Chris) began at 4 pm on Monday afternoon and didn't leave Masina's plum splattered kitchen crime scene til about 10 that night! 6 hours of canning madness! From it all we made "Santa Rosa Plum Jam" from Bonnie's wonderful Santa Rosa plums, then plum jelly and "Plum Tuckered Chutney" from our bountiful yellow garden plums. Masina and I started jars of plum vinegar from the pits and scraps, and I packed up some to-go bags of pitted plums for freezer storage. As you can imagine, the whole wild plum affair left us all plum-tuckered out. See the beautiful pics above and below...
