Damson Plum Preserves

"Sweet and a little bit tart, these old-fashioned Damson Plum Preserves require just 3 ingredients -- and no pectin! Remove the pits, simmer a pot on the stove, and you'll have a couple jars of beautiful, preserved fresh plums to enjoy with cheese on your next charcuterie board, to spread on biscuits, cornbread or toast, to elevate sandwiches, or to use in baked goods like a classic Damson Plum Pie. This old-fashioned recipe comes from my friend Mollie, whose great grandmother used damsons to make preserves each year. "
