ok, I can unjar and reheat. I have a bunch more in the freezer, so if I also puree those plums, I may have enough for 2 batches! We picked all the cherry plums we could reach last weekend (first by hand, one by one, then with a rake! very effective!), and left the rest for the squirrels.
My partner canned one batch a few days ago. Tends to be impatient, and it was getting toward midnight, so may not have processed the full 20 minutes. Had never canned anything before, but still got snippy when I said to make sure the rims were clean. Also did raw pack -- just put raw pitted cherry plums in the jars, then filled with water. The jars bubbled a lot and there's quite a bit of stickiness on the outside of the jars. They all sealed, however. Now I wonder if they're safe!
I made some really good plum sauce to keep in the fridge -- just a pound of plums, 4 cloves of garlic, minced ginger (tablespoon), teaspoon of soy sauce. I will saute some tofu with onion tops and add the plum sauce.
