Authentic Plum Sauce

 Ingredients

 pounds plums, pitted and chopped

 1/2 cup diced Garnet yam (i.e., orange flesh) *

 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion

 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar

 3/4  cup light brown sugar

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tbsp honey

2 tbsp grated fresh ginger

cloves garlic

 1 tsp sea salt

 For the Spice Mixture:

 1 2-3" cinnamon stick

 2 whole star anise

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp whole fennel seeds

1 tsp 5 Spice pdr 

 *Garnet yams are actually Garnet yam from specialtyproduce.com    

 

Preparations Place all the ingredients except for the spice mixture in a medium-sized pot and bring to a boil.  Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.  Use an immersion blender or transfer to a blender to puree until smooth (then return to pot).   Place the whole spices (skip if using store-bought five spice powder) in a small dry pan and toast over medium-high heat just until fragrant.  Be careful not to scorch the spices or they will taste bitter.  Let the spices cool and then place the whole spices in a piece of cheesecloth tied shut with string or in a tea sachet.  Do the same if using store-bought ground five spice powder.  Place the spice packet in the pot with the plum sauce and continue to simmer uncovered for 25-45 minutes until the sauce is thickened to the desired consistency.  Discard the spice packet.  Let the sauce cool.  Store in the fridge in an airtight non-reactive container.  Will keep for up to 2 weeks. CANNING INSTRUCTIONS:  Ladle the hot plum sauce into sterilized jars, seal with the lids and process in a boiling water canner for 15 minutes.  Turn off the heat and let sit for 5 minutes.  Remove the jars and let sit undisturbed for 24 hours then check the seals.  Will keep in a dark, cool place for at least a year.
