Serves
1
500 g plums, stones removed, coarsely chopped
1 onion, chopped
1/2 cup Chelsea Soft Brown Sugar
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
2 tsp grated ginger
1/2 cup water
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 star anise
1/2 tsp Chinese five spice
1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes
50 ml soy sauce
Place all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a simmer.
Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the plums have become completely soft and the mixture has thickened; around 25-35 minutes. Add more water for a thinner sauce.
Bottle while piping hot in a sterilised jar or keep in the fridge.
Makes 1.5 cups.
As We don't like spicy foods I didn't put in the chilli as I thought the star anise, ginger and 5 spice would be bold enough - and it was. Very yummy thank you
This sauce is delicious. It was a lucky dip pick from the internet using ingredients like star anise and 5 spice with which I wasn't familiar. I did put it through a kitchen sieve before bottling and thought that was worth the effort. I didn't want chunky sauce.
Easy to make and would definitely make it again.
Made A LOT of this over summer and always gets rave reviews. Have to add at least double sugar though or maybe reduce lemon juice
