yellow plums - much different to red ones?

[Madame Mucksprout]

Hi,
I am very fortunatly being given a bucket of windfall yellow plums tomorow and I intend to make jam and anything else I come accross on here.

Should I treat the yellow plums differently to red?, would they make nice jam? or will it look a bit brown and yucky?

any hints and tips from experiance grapes very greatfully recieved.

I made some last year and it WAS brown but it certainly wasn't yucky!

Yellow plums should make yellow plum jam and red ones, red jam. I just treat them the same and it works every time.

If you're worried just put a bit of beetroot juice in with the plums. You won't taste the beetroot but it should give some colour.

I made jam from some yellow wild-plums, it's a gorgeous amber colour (and quite sharp tasting, which I like!)
Last year I used mixed colours of wild plums, and the jam was the colour of Dundee Marmalade.
