Very distinctive taste which I find very appealing. One guest did not care for the flavor but then, she rarely likes anything new or slightly different .I used frozen Italian Prune Plums that I had in the freezer. Worked well. The sauce is just not as chunky as you describe it but has a nice consistency. I put the leftover sauce in 1/2 cup jars and froze them. Nice to hear that it freezes well. I used this sauce as a topping on stuffed Pertobello mushrooms but I can think of a dozen recipes that ir would do well in - Glaze for chicken, Dip for Appies etc etc etc Thanks Kc I wuill think of you every time I use this tasty sauce.

Love this recipie! The sauce has great flavor and it's easy to make. It was not spicy enough for me, so next time I will throw in a few more peppers!

This is a nice sauce. I used jalapenos from my garden and plums from my tree. I also used lemons and oranges from my trees. I love recipes that use stuff that we grow. Thanks!
