Chinese Plum Sauce Recipe

"I found this on epicurian.com and thought I would like to be able to make my own plum sauce. The ones I've purchased have never really been satisfactory. *** However, it did not give the number of pints or half pints it made so I just put in an amount until I hear from the poster."

directions

  • Roast the peppers to remove skin; quarter lengthwise and devein. Set aside.
  • Combine the apricots, plums, three cups of vinegar and water in a large non-reactive kettle and simmer until soft; about 25 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In another non-reactive kettle, this one very large, combine the remaining vinegar, sugars, and Karo and bring to a boil, stirring.
  • Add the fruit mixture, ginger, salt, mustard seeds, onion, chiles, garlic, cinnamon, and the skinned bell peppers.
  • Simmer, covered, for five minutes then simmer uncovered for one hour, stirring every so often.
  • Remove the cinnamon stick.
  • With a food processor, pulse the mixture for a couple of seconds (this has to be done in batches; * process a little longer if you like a less-textured sauce).
  • Return to the kettle and boil gently, stirring, until the sauce has thickened, about 15 minutes (the sauce will thicken some more as it cools).
  • Ladle into sterilized jars, either half-pint or pint.
  • Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (for half-pint jars) or 15 minutes (for pint jars).
  • Allow to age in the jar for 2 to 4 weeks before using.

I've done leaded glass work(stained glass), which I love; am working on counted cross stitch; and am willing to try any craft, at least once! I've also worked for a major insurance company as a case analyst.
