Thanks Betty,
I actually bought the Ball blue book and followed the recipe, Made it today and stole a taste, it is so good! I am proud of myself for making my first batch of jelly (or anything canned) we'll see tomorrow how it tastes!

Kelly, please buy yourself some pectin and look inside the box. There should be all sorts of recipes in there. If not, use the Ball Blue Book. I found one!! You didn't say what type of plums you had.
PLUM JAM
4 lbs plums
3/4 cup water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 package powdered pectin
7 cups sugar
Pit and chop plums (about 6 cups chopped) Combine chopped plums, water, lemon juice, and pectin in a large saucepot. Bring to a full boil over high heat, stirring frequently. Add sugar and return to a full rolling boil. Boil hard one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and skim foam. (A pat of butter may keep the foam down) Pour, hot, into hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch head space. Process 10 minutes in boiling water bath. Adjust caps. Yield about 8 half pints.
I hope this helps.
