Directions

Description - Step 1

Prep the ingredients

Chop the fresh plums, dice the onions, and mince the garlic. Also, measure out all other ingredients or keep them ready to use.

Description - Step 2

Make the base

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until soft. Then add garlic and sauté 1 minute until fragrant. Then add the chopped plums, salt, and spices (ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and black pepper). Cook for 2 minutes, ensuring everything is evenly coated.

Description - Step 3

Add liquids and sugar

Add brown sugar, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar to the sauce base. Give everything a good stir, ensuring the sugar dissolves.

Description - Step 4

Simmer the sauce

Bring the sauce mix to a gentle boil and then reduce to low heat. Keep the pan uncovered but let it simmer. Stir occasionally until the plums break down and the sauce thickens to a chutney-like consistency.

Description - Step 5

Blend and reduce

Use an immersion blender and blend the sauce for a minute or two to achieve a smooth, sauce-like consistency. Now, simmer again for 5–10 minutes to thicken the sauce. Taste and adjust salt/pepper, if required. Turn off the heat.

Description - Step 6

Cool and store

Let the sauce cool completely before storing it in airtight jars in the fridge (for up to 2 weeks). You can use it as a dipping sauce for rolls, or to drizzle over grilled meats and even salad.
