Ingredients

• 6 whole ripe plums
• 0.33 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 0.25 cup water
• 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Wash the plums thoroughly and cut them in half. Remove the pits and roughly chop the flesh.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the chopped plums, brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, water, and red pepper flakes.

Step 3

Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the plums are very soft and the sauce has thickened slightly.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes.

Step 5

Use an immersion blender or transfer the mixture to a countertop blender. Blend until smooth. Be cautious when blending hot liquids.

Step 6

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add more soy sauce for saltiness, more sugar for sweetness, or more vinegar for tanginess.

Step 7

Pour the sauce into a clean jar or airtight container and let it cool completely before refrigerating. The sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Step 8

Serve as a dipping sauce, marinade, or condiment for your favorite dishes!
