Plum and Amaretto Jam Recipe

We almost completely missed the pick-your-own season this year.

I dug out this recipe which came with a Katie Alice jam-making kit a few years ago and whipped up a few jars for the cupboard. It's a lovely, easy recipe so even if you've never tried making jam before, have a go.
