1 pound fresh plums, preferably red plums for color, pitted and chopped (about 4 cups)
2 sticks brown slab sugar or 1/2 cup light brown sugar (see Cook's Note)
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm plums: Overripe plums will make the sauce too watery, while underripe plums will be too tart.
  • Use a variety of plums: Using a mix of different plum varieties will give your sauce a more complex flavor.
  • Add some sweetness: If your plums are tart, you may want to add some sugar or honey to the sauce to balance out the flavor.
  • Use fresh ginger and garlic: Fresh ginger and garlic will give your sauce a more intense flavor than powdered spices.
  • Cook the sauce over low heat: This will help to prevent the sauce from scorching.
  • Let the sauce cool completely before storing: This will help to prevent the sauce from spoiling.

Conclusion:

Plum sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. So next time you have a surplus of plums, give this recipe a try!
