Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups beach plum juice from about 4 pounds of beach plums
  • 7 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 pouch liquid pectin 3 ounces
  • 1 cup water for juice extraction

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare The Beach Plum Juice

  • Wash the beach plums thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Place the plums in a large saucepan, add 1 cup of water, and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer until the plums are soft and bursting, about 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Strain the mixture through a jelly bag or fine mesh strainer into a large bowl. Let it drip overnight for a clearer juice, or press gently for a more robust flavor.

Step 2: Make The Jelly

  • Measure 4 cups of beach plum juice and pour it into a large saucepan.
  • Add the sugar, stirring until dissolved. Heat the mixture until it reaches a rolling boil.
  • Stir in the liquid pectin quickly and return to a full boil. Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  • Remove from heat and skim off any foam with a spoon.

Step 3: Jar The Jelly

  • Carefully ladle the hot jelly into sterilized jelly jars, leaving 1/4 inch of headspace.
  • Before putting the lids on, wipe the rims and tighten the bands with your finger.
  • To seal the jars, process them in a boiling water bath for ten minutes.
