A couple in our church gave me about 15 lbs. of plums so I set out this morning to make plum jam.

I love looking at the finished product.

I still have about 10 lbs. left so I'm going to look up some recipes using plums. Any suggestions?

I can trace it back very clearly to the experiences I had in my childhood and formative years.  It frustrates me to no end when I'm having these emotional responses to things in my life because in my head I know why I'm having them, but it certainly doesn't stop the emotions from flooding every part of me. But I can also see very clearly...
