Plum canning 2013

Plum’s are in season! My mom usually makes plum jelly. This year she ventured into making Plum Sauce. This sauce is versatile and can be served over pork chops, waffles, pancakes and many other things. It can also be made into a salad dressing! Thanks to my Aunt Joyce for sharing the recipe and thanks to my mom for sharing her pictures!

The first step is to pick your plums! You might ask around and see if any friends or family members have a plum tree!
