Lf you are looking for something special to make for holiday
gifts,this is one to consider.Although plum sauce is traditionally served with egg rolls,it goes wonderfully with many other Chinese and Indian dishes.Plum sauce is also an excellent condiment with chicken and duck.
3 pounds plums(Italian plums are recommended)I use Santa Rosa
2 pounds freestone-type peaches( I use any kind of peach)
3 sweet red peppers,diced
4 large cloves garlic,minced
1 onion,minced
4 cups cider vinegar
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 cup cooking sherry
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 1/2 cup white sugar
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon pickling salt
1 tablespoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
Steam blanch the plums and peaches for 2 minutes over boiling water.Blanch no more than 1 pound at a time.Slip the skins off the fruit,slice,and remove the stones.Chop the peaches.
In a large preserving kettle,combine all the ingredients.Bring to a boil and simmer until the fruit fall apart and syrup is quite thick,1 1/2-2 hours.Stir frequently to avoid scorching.
Ladle the hot sauce into clean,hot half-pint jars,leaving 1/2 inch headspace.Seal.
Process in a boiling water bath canner for 10 minutes,
Remove and let cool they will seal.
I also add more sugar and liquid smoke to make a bbq sauce flavor it to your taste. Enjoy!
