Can I safely substitute Red Plums in the Ball canning recipe for Peach Syrup?

Expert Response

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.
