Allicia,
Unfortunately, you cannot substitute plums in the recipe for the peach sauce in the Ball recipe. I have looked for a research tested recipe and have not found one. I would recommend canning your whole or half plums and then making it into a plum sauce once you open the can. We always recommend following a research tested recipe when canning to ensure a safe final product. I have attached our resources for finding research tested recipes. Please let me know if you have questions.
