I used honey (1/4 cup for 2 cups of plums) and no additional sweetener. But, my plums were very ripe. I also didn't have a vanilla bean, so I just added organic gluten free vanilla at the end. Turned out great.

As soon as I get some plums in my organic fruit box I'll give this a whirl, sounds wonderful.

Kristen -Thanks, I do too. pie -Please see the recipe above, which notes that I puree the skins into the jam. Melissa -That is such a great idea, thanks for sharing. Rhonda -Thanks so much for your sweet and joyful comment! Freedom -Great idea, thanks for sharing. Hannah -Yes, I use kudzu and arrowroot interchangeably, I think they are different forms of the same thing. Mariella - I love the idea of using lemon juice; so natural!

Elana, i've made jams before...in an other country, an other life it seems...and i've never used a thickener. Plums do have pectin though under-ripe plums have more. The best source of pectin is lemon juice so for insurance (not the AIG type) you could try adding the juice of one lemon if you'd like to try it without the arrowroot. At any rate it sounds decadent....I adore plums and it takes me back to stirring a potful of blissfully sticky plum jam with my mum so many years ago...i'll try this with my kids.

I have used kudzu instead of arrowroot for your chocolate pudding and it was great. Thanks for this website and all the great recipes.

fruit pectin is an all natural jam thickener that comes from apples I believe. I know for sure that it comes from fruit and is not an artificial product. It even comes in a handy gel packet now, that you just squeeze into your jam, instead of measuring out the pectin powder.
