Billington plums are among the earliest, and they're great for jam.. They're usually ripening from a few days before Christmas.. maybe ask a greengrocer to order some for you to have then if that timing is ok..

I pick them off trees at the side of the road and they're green at the moment, usually Jan/Feb before they're ready.

The little Christmas plums may be ready by mid-December. But they are quite watery and really suited to plum jam.

Christmas plums - the only early ones in the North. Nice fresh - but not enough "substance" for jam.
