Beach plum jelly is a traditional Cape Cod thing. It's sold as a vacation souvenier. Beach plums are small fruited wild plums which grow in the sand dunes.

I'll see if I can find the recipe I have somewhere, but I'm sure it's just a standard jelly recipe like you get with Sure-Jell.

Here's a recipe from new hampshire.

Thank you! :)

Update: I used the Beach Plum Jam recipe and added a little fresh peeled ginger. YUM!!! Tart and tasty. :)

Nice!! That sounds sooo good. Glad the recipe worked out for you. I'm planning to do crabapple jelly tomorrow. Thinking of adding cloves to it.

Oh, let us know how it turns out. :)

It was so hard to get among this group, I was ready to sign off.
My son's farm has many fruit trees, 2 are plum's, big, moist, blue on purple, the pit is attached to the flesh of the fruit and makes it hard to prepare jam.
I wish to have some idea of the proportions. I assume I will have 5 cups of fruit, I want to add some almonds and a bit of honey, about half a glass of liquid honey.
What should be the amount of sugar to add and should I add pictin? If I do not find the one for jams, could I use a pack or 2 of Jelo with strawberry or peach flavor.
Thanks for helping me, it will be my first time making jam although I am in my 80s.
