Making Green Plum Jam

We thought this tree was a crab apple tree until the fruits kept growing bigger and bigger.  We tasted one of the mysterious fruits and it was delicious!  This tree is a Green Gauge Plum tree.  The plums are a beautiful yellow green color and taste tangy and sweet, perfect for homemade jam!
Picked plums for the jam.



Green plum jam reducing on the stove.  I know, it doesn't look green.  Green Gauge Plum jam can range in colors from brown to orange to pink!  I'll post pics of the finished jam soon.
