Just got my share of wild plum jelly , 8 pints. Made some other adult stuff , 4 quarts, I think I like the jelly better . I was a plum gathering fool .

We pulled around 4 gallons of wild plums this year. We pulled something like 17 gallons of mustang grapes. Jelly out of both was good, but boysenberry jelly is king.
Lots of paw paw here. It sure won't ferment well. Don't ask how I know that.Caustic Burno":1xv3bzfk said:backhoeboogie":1xv3bzfk said:We have wild plum all over the fence rows here.

Mayhaw can't be beat.
I haven't seen a paw paw since they clear cut the world.
