Ingredients

  • 1 lb plums finely chopped. Should be about 2 cups
  • 1 ½ cups firmly packed brown sugar
  • 2 cups apple cider vinegar
  • 1 ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced or crushed
  • 2 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon each allspice, ground cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine plums, brown sugar, and vinegar in a large stainless steel pot.
  2. Over high heat, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 3 minutes, stirring. Add all other ingredients, stirring continuously and bring back to a simmer.
  3. Continue to simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
  4. Remove from heat.  
  5. Use an immersion blender right in the pot, or transfer to a blender and process until sauce is smooth.
  6. Transfer to clean, sterilized jars leaving ½" head space for each jar. Process jars for 15 minutes in a boiling water canner.

Notes

  • This Asian plum sauce is quite thick, so if using for a dipping sauce, (which is delicious), you can thin it with some rice vinegar, soy sauce, or whatever works best for your dish.
  • This is a vinegar-based recipe, so be sure to have good ventilation during the cooking process.
