I still have some in my fridge (both the sweet jam and the Chinese jam) and they are both still ok to eat after almost a month. You can freeze it or can it if you want to save the jam for a long time, but with only 20 plums, you'll blow through that batch quickly. Enjoy!

So, I must ask, if I just boil the plums as you write, do I have to process it like as in canning if I plan on using it as a sauce pretty quick? How long will it last in the fridge? Think I can freeze it? All I have right now is about 20 ripe plums from a friend's tree and I won't eat them in time (and she has more than I can pick!). I want to be able to do something with them so they don't go bad! Sounds wonderful!
