Wash the plums, halve them, remove the stones, and then cut into small cubes. Place them in a saucepan and pour over the rum. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar and stir. Leave to stand, covered, for a few hours, stirring occasionally. Rinse 16 small 200g jars with hot water and drain upside down; do not dry them. Swirl the lids of the jars with a little rum. Bring the plums to a boil, stirring, and simmer vigorously for four minutes, stirring in the citric acid. Test the setting on a chilled plate. Remove from the heat and quickly stir in the preserving agent. Pour into the prepared jars, immediately screw on the lids tightly, and let stand on the lids for five minutes. Then turn carefully and let cool without further stirring. Label and store in a cool, dark place until ready to serve. Goes great with waffles, on rolls and bread, or used in a layered dessert.
