If you have an overactive tree at home, or went a little nuts at the farmers market, this easy recipe for fresh plum jam will help you put your bounty to good use.

Rich Red Plum Jam

This is a beautiful jewel-red jam with a perfect balance of sweet and tart. Putting half of the fruit through a food mill and leaving the other half in quarters makes for a rustic textured jam. An overnight maceration gives you a head-start on the jamming process. It's a great jam to pair with fresh, creamy cow's milk cheeses like ricotta.

Sweet's Peach Melba Jam

Bottle a classic with this jam from Sweet. Paying homage to the Escoffier peach melba, peach and raspberry preserves are layered on top of each other and sealed for, well, as long as you can keep your hands off them.

Bourbon Peach Jam

Few things in life are better than biting into a fuzzy, sun-warmed peach, the nectar dribbling down your chin. This simple jam is full of ripe, fresh peach flavor with hints of bourbon, cinnamon, and vanilla. I like to serve it with warm buttermilk biscuits, or use it as a filling for a quick summer tart.

Apple Rhubarb Conserve with Almonds and Apricots

I love the combination of apples and almonds, but any nuts will do in this recipe. Try pecans, walnuts, or hazelnuts. Similarly, you can swap the apricots for the dried fruit of your choice. Try golden raisins, chopped dried mango, or dried pears. This works nicely on a cheese plate or with hearty grain bread.

Autumn Jam with Pears, Mission Figs, and Cinnamon

Highlighting the sweet freshness of autumn figs and pears, this jam is a fall favorite. Tart orange provides a touch of zip, while just a hint of cinnamon adds warmth for those shorter, cooler evenings.

Fig, Raspberry and Lemon Jam

You can really taste each individual component of this jam, from the fig's subtle perfume, to the bold raspberries, to the tart lemon. The robust flavors would pair perfectly with hearty, flavorful breads like cornbread or crusty sour dough.

Cranberry Potpourri Jam

This cranberry potpourri jam is inspired by the little fruit-orange sachets I used to make as a kid. The warm, spicy scent is so inviting, you might just keep a jar in your sock drawer.
