Instructions
- 1 Place plums, a few at a time, into a colander set over a large bowl; squeeze plums with gloved hands forcing juice through colander holes. Discard solids. Repeat with remaining plums until yields 8 cups plum juice.
- 2 Combine ¾ cup plum juice, onion, and garlic in a small saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
- 3 Combine plum juice-onion mixture and remaining 7 ½ cups plum juice in a large pot; stir in sugar, apple cider vinegar, jalapeño, salt, Southwest chipotle seasoning, roasted garlic seasoning, and liquid smoke flavoring until sugar and salt have dissolved. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to a simmer; cook, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens, about 1 ½ hours.
- 4 Meanwhile, inspect 8 half-pint jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until sauce is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
- 5 Pack sauce into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within ¼ inch of tops. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around insides of jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
- 6 Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
- 7 Remove jars from the stockpot; rest, several inches apart, for 2 to 24 hours. Press centers of lids with a finger to ensure lids do not move up or down. Remove rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.
