Plum Sauce
I have never made my own sauce before and I found this recipe from one of my team mates in the swap I am in this month and thought I would try it. I had all the ingredients in my cupboard apart from the plums so that made it so easy. Well this sauce is fab, it can be used just like ketchup or BBQ sauce. It costs way less to make than buying store bought sauce, as it makes up so much. I have used this with chicken, sausages, chips and burgers so far and it has gone well with them all. Another bonus is that is so simple to make with minimal fuss. I have asked the chef about storage and she said it can be kept indefinitely in sealed jars in the fridge. She likes to pour the sauce into bottles while it still hot and the leads seal. I did not change anything to the original but view this or other recipes by this chef please click here.
