I cut this recipe in half, since I wasn't sure how much I'd like it & now wish I'd made the whole thing! Ah, well, another time! I did cut back on the cayenne pepper & mustard seeds, using a rounded 1/2 measure for each of them! Definitely must find myself a source for home-grown plums, 'cause this is GREAT TASTING PLUM SAUCE!
