I know you all know this, but if you're doing food preserving, follow recipes from a reputable source. I made freezer jam today, so it wasn't really important, but I saw some real doozies when looking for a recipe.
One said "remove as many stones as you desire", as if there's a smooth vs crunchy debate re plum pits in your jam.

A metal bowl full of lovely round purple and peach colored plums. They make long stretched reflections on of the side of the bowl, like a funhouse mirror for fruit.

I'm holding up a small jar of plum jam in front of a sliding glass door, with some deck chairs and trees and blue sky outside.

Another said she doesn't bother with the final heat processing stage for preserves. Because there are only x deaths per year from botulinum poisoning, out of a population of y million people, so it isn't really an issue. But she encourages the reader to "do your own research." 😱
