Canning Pluots

[YYY]

Hi Everybody,

 

I have ½ of a small box of pluots (fruit that is a cross of a plum and an apricot). I’ve looked but can’t find a recipe for canning them other than as jam. I don’t want jam or jelly. Do I can them like plums?

 

Thanks

I would cut them in halves, remove the stone and then can them in a light syrup. I don't have my canning book in front of me but I think the times for plums and apricots are the same. If not, err on the side of safety and go for the longer time. It should be just fine.

Thanks Andrea

 

That's exactly what I'll be doing this afternoon.

 

Thanks again
