Scroll down to read my Sand Plum Jelly story and recipe.
I think my plum tree needed a rest this year! I am ready for a break too... the past 3 years it has taken me 3-4 weekends to make all of the jelly! That's a lot of steam facials from the hot water bath! *smile* We had a few late freezes (which usually last the blink of an eye in Texas, but is a freeze none-the-less) followed by a dry spring, so even though it was full of flower buds, there were only a handful of plums on the tree this year. We left them for our resident mockingbird and friends. Hope you all in KS and OK are having better luck finding the *real* sand plums this year!
