Preserved Plums Recipe

Damson plums make a rich, old-fashioned preserve if washed, pricked, and

allowed to stand a few hours, mixed with an equal quantity of

sugar--pound for pound--then put on the stove where they will gently

simmer until cooked down quite thick. They must be watched carefully,

however, to prevent scorching. Such rich fruit is best put up in pint

jars, as usually only a small quantity is needed at a time.
