Is it okay to freeze plums before making jam?

Hey folks! Can you freeze plums before turning them into jam? I'm thinking of prepping some plums ahead of time, but I'm not sure if freezing them will affect the jam's texture or flavor. Has anyone tried this? Would love to hear your experiences!

Hey there! Yes, you can definitely freeze plums before making jam! Freezing them won't ruin the flavor or texture too much; in fact, it can make them easier to work with when you’re ready to cook them down. Just keep in mind that they might become a bit softer after thawing, which can actually help release more juice for your jam. Many people freeze fruit for jam-making, so it’s a great way to prep ahead of time!

Hey! Yup, you can totally freeze plums before making jam! Just make sure to pit and slice them first. The texture might get a bit softer, but the flavor will still be awesome! Just thaw them out before jamming. Happy preserving!
