Lots of wild plums around in St Albans this year. Having fun collecting them with the children. We have bottled pears before, but never plums. Should be interesting and I am looking forward to having some on my breakfast cereal. Adam. Thanks for the recipe. Lots of wild plums around in St Albans this year.

Hubby is fed-up with 5 months of plums so I have to ration them out slowly, am concerned about storage once liquid is removed (hence bottling idea) have a 1.75l jar full but this is employing precious gin that could be bottled.
