Instructions

  1. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
