To Prepare the Juice:
Crush fully ripe plums. (Do not peel or pit). Add 3/4 cup of water, bring to a boil, simmer, covered, 10 minutes. Place in jelly cloth or bag; squeeze out juice. Measure 3 cups into very large saucepan.
To make the jelly:
Measure sugar; set aside. Place saucepan holding juice over high heat. Add powdered fruit pectin; stir until mixture comes to a hard boil. At once stir in sugar. Bring to a full rolling boil; boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat, skim, pour quickly into glasses. Seal at once.
Notes
*note recipe indicates using Paraffin to seal the jars. That is an outdated way of canning/ preserving. I have purposely left out processing time to make the jelly "shelf stable". Instead I would suggest storing the jelly in the refrigerator.
Loblaws today is known as a Canadian chain of grocery stores. For over 50 years though the company maintained a presence in the United States including the Buffalo, NY area.

The year was 1959 and Mrs. R. M. Milton of Morris Avenue in Buffalo, NY was planning her summer vacation. She decided to shop at the Loblaws at 1770 Hertel Avenue where her $282 she spent went a long way. That $282 in 1959 is roughly equivalent to $2,200 in 2015. There was no indication what she spent her 2,820 in S&H Green Stamps on.

Loblaws grocery stores was founded in Toronto, Ontario in 1919. By 1928 they had expanded into the United States, including the Buffalo, NY area. In the mid-1970s the Buffalo stores were bought out by Bells supermarkets. The two companies still maintained a working relationship where Loblaws supplied Bells with generic foods (First the yellow and black “No-Frills” line & later the slightly more upscale “President’s Choice”). Bells lasted another twenty years in the Buffalo area before being bought out by Quality Markets. Loblaws is currently the largest supermarket chain in Canada.
