Spicy Plum Sauce 

Found on mrswheelbarrow

Use on grilled pork or as a chicken glaze. Makes a perfect dipping sauce for spring rolls or dumplings.

Makes 5 half pints 

3 pounds pitted and chopped plums, any kind or combination 

1-1/2 cup packed light brown sugar 

3/4 cup white sugar 

3/4 cup apple cider vinegar 

3/4 cup onion, finely chopped 

1 medium jalapeno pepper, finely chopped 

3 teaspoons mustard seed 

1.5 teaspoon salt

6 cloves garlic, minced 

1-1/2 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced 

Bring all ingredients except plums to a boil in a non-reactive pan. Stir in chopped plums. Reduce heat and simmer until thick and syrupy, stirring often, between 30-45 minutes, until it is reduced by more than half. Mash with a potato masher, immersion blender, or regular blender if you want a smoother sauce. Fill sterilized jars with hot sauce, leaving 1/4” headspace. Process in a boiling water bath for 20 minutes.
