Just look at my plums......

p1kef1sh @p1kef1sh (45681) 14 Sep 09

writersedge @writersedge (22563) • United States 25 Aug 08

like plums after I put the sugar in. The recipe on sure-jell called for 8 cups of sugar for every 6 cups of plums. Before it cooked down, it wasn't bad, but after it cooked down, was it ever sweet! Wow! The color is candy apple...
