I let the guy at the Farmer’s Market talk me in to WAY too many plums. I only wanted 3-4 and ended up with a bagful of amazing looking plums. The plums weren’t like any we’d had before. They were so juicy and sweet. The kind of fruit that drips down your chin when you bite into it. We happily munched on plums until we reached the day when they either needed to be composted or tossed. Or, of course, made into something. I love dipping sauces for pot stickers and egg rolls and so I grabbed the ingredients I’d need for homemade plum sauce.
This turned out to be very easy to make. Here’s all you need to make a small batch of homemade plum sauce.
- 4 Plums, washed and pitted
- 1/8 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/8 cup or more brown sugar lightly packed
- 1 Tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
I wish I could claim that I made those potsickers but those are just your basic freezer section variety that you cook in a little water and oil. There not bad and a good sauce can dress up just about anything.
Wouldn’t this make a nice little gift? Maybe a variety of dipping sauces. My favorites are apricot sweet and sour, hoisin and now plum.
So next time your fruit is about to get too ripe, consider making an interesting sauce with it. Enjoy?
Thanks so much for stopping by.
