Making Jam

We discovered this year that one of our trees in the backyard is actually a plum tree! This summer it had fruit on it for the first time.

So, I picked all the fruit (which wasn't a ton because they are pretty small) bought a few more from the store, and made plum jam.
It was my first time ever canning jam, and it didn't turn out too bad. It even set up pretty well.
