Damson Plum Jam and Ice Cream

It’s plum season here in the UK, and the little jewels are everywhere: Victoria, green gage, and the famous damsons. I hadn’t heard much about damsons before I came over here, but they’re big on this side of the pond, and very popular with jam makers. They’re considered too sour to eat alone (and they’re too small to serve as much of a snack anyway, being about the size of a very large grape) but they pair beautifully with all sorts of flavourings and foods. Being a jammer myself, I thought I’d give these “soor plooms” a go.
