Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 medium ripe plums
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.25 cup apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (grated)
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Wash the plums thoroughly and remove the pits. Cut the plums into quarters.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the plums, water, and brown sugar. Stir well.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the plums are softened and the liquid begins to thicken.
Use a fine-mesh strainer to separate the juice from the plum solids. Press the solids gently to extract as much liquid as possible. Reserve the juice in a bowl to create the plum syrup.
Return the plum solids to the saucepan over low heat. Add honey, apple cider vinegar, ketchup, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and ground black pepper.
Simmer the sauce mixture for another 12-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens to a barbecue sauce consistency.
Allow the barbecue sauce to cool slightly, then transfer it to a blender or use an immersion blender to blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning with additional vinegar or pepper if needed.
Pour the plum syrup into a separate jar or container, and store both the barbecue sauce and syrup in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Enjoy the plum syrup on pancakes, waffles, or yogurt, and use the tangy barbecue sauce as a flavorful marinade or glaze for grilled meats or vegetables.
