Brucey's Spicey Plum Sauce

Fat, red, ripe plums from a lovely Howrah dwelling have arrived at my house. To the stove I say and create something saucy......
 

What you need....

2kg ripe plums
1 cup water
4 tbsp Chinese five spice
4 cloves garlic
1/2 cup sliced ginger
10 chillies, halved
1kg sugar 

Make it happen....

1. In a large pot bring the fruit and water to the boil, reduce to a simmer, cook until the fruit is soft.

2. Push the fruit through a medium strainer.

3. Warm the sugar in a low oven.

4. Return the fruit to the pot and add all remaining ingredients.

5. Bring to a rapid boil, reduce heat slightly to a slow roll for 30 to 40 min.

6. Remove from heat and pour into sterilized jars.

 

Lovely with duck or bbq pork, my little ladies love it with some dumplings or spring rolls.I have reduced the sugar as my batch was a little bit to sweet.
