   Pit the plums with your fingers and toss them into a saucepan or soup pot, you may smush them in the process of getting the pits out, which is fine. When they're all in there, add the sugar and turn on the heat (add less sugar at first, you can add more later). If it's dry ad a little water. When it's simmering, turn it down and let it simmer for 15-20 minute After it's cooled a bit, scoop the plum mixture into a colander that's resting inside a large bowl. Strain the mixture and pour the syrup into bottles. Keep refrigerated for up to one month!
