We loved this BBQ sauce! The plums give it a nice fruity taste without being overly sweet; the maple syrup is just the right touch. Used this on some baby back ribs that we had smoked with a spicy chipotle rub and it was a perfect pairing. Thanks for sharing your recipe! Made for Spring Pick-A-Chef 2012

One of the nice things about living where I do is that, for a price, I'm able to get most any fruit or vegetable unless it has an outrageously brief season! And so the plums were not a problem! I really enjoyed making this gem of a sauce & think the maple syrup added a nice touch. I initiated its use on some chicken breasts for an outstanding main course, & the next time around it'll be on some pork chops! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I added a dash of Port wine and a couple of tablespoons of good bourbon along with two star anise pods ( I simmered the sauce for at least 45 minutes) , a little more maple syrup, a dash of soy sauce, a teaspoon of ground ginger and then microplaned a Meyer lemon and added a quarter of the juice into the sauce until I could taste plum through the tomato.
