Ingredients

• 6 cups ripe plums
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 0.5 cup apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 cup water
• 4 cloves minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons minced ginger
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Wash the plums thoroughly, halve them, and remove the pits. Chop the plums into small chunks.

Step 2

In a large saucepan, combine the chopped plums, light brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and water. Stir to mix well.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, crushed red pepper flakes, and salt to the saucepan.

Step 4

Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer uncovered for about 35-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the plums have softened and the mixture has thickened slightly.

Step 6

Use an immersion blender to puree the sauce until smooth, or carefully transfer the mixture in batches to a blender or food processor, then blend until smooth.

Step 7

Once blended, pour the sauce back into the saucepan and cook over low heat for an additional 5 minutes to thicken slightly, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the plum sauce cool to room temperature.

Step 9

Transfer the cooled plum sauce to sterilized jars or airtight containers and refrigerate. The sauce can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Step 10

Serve this versatile plum sauce as a dip with spring rolls, egg rolls, or use it as a glaze for pork, chicken, or duck.
