In a large pot, combine the plums, sugar, lemon juice, and water. Stir well to mix the ingredients.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.

After the jam has thickened, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly.

Pour the jam into sterilized jars, leaving a small gap at the top. Seal the jars tightly.
Step 7
Allow the jam to cool completely before storing it in a cool, dark place. Refrigerate after opening.
