Now, the difference between jelly & jam is that jelly is strained and jam has all the fruit in it.

If you want to make jam - you cut out the pits and try to remove most of the skin and cook down the pulp.

The amount of pectin and depends on the amount of plums you cook down -- read the manufacturer's directions.
