Elephant Heart Plum Jam

A true farmers market favorite, the Elephant Heart is a Japanese plum variety known for its ruby red flesh, heart-like shape, and unforgettable flavor. Grown in the San Joaquin Valley, these freestone plums are juicy, sweet, and just a little tart—the kind of fruit you taste once and never forget.

Our jam keeps things chunky, with the skins left in for a bit of texture and depth. It’s bold, fruity, and insanely versatile—perfect on toast, dolloped onto scones, or even used as a glaze for grilled fish or pork. (Pro tip: it’s a game-changer on a cheese board.)

We start with fresh Elephant Heart plums and cook them down with pure cane sugar and a touch of citrus pectin to help set the texture just right. The result is a vibrant, spoonable jam that tastes like late summer in a jar.
