Quickie Plum Sauce

This is a como that I came up with when I went searching here on Zaar. Had to use what was on hand and was I surprised how well it turned out.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 8-10

Ingredients

• 1 (13 ounce) jar plum preserves
• 2 -3  garlic cloves, minced fine
• 1  inch fresh ginger, peeled and minced
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons red onions, minced fine (or shallot)
• 1  tablespoon brown sugar (I use Splenda Brown)
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
• 2  tablespoons white vinegar
•  salt

Directions

1. Put garlic, ginger,and onion into a electric grinder. Add just a pinch of salt to hold it together. Pulse a few times until you have a paste.
2. If you don't have a grinder, put some salt down on your working area, top with the garlic, ginger and onion, and press down with the flat blade side of a large knife. As you press down, draw the knife towards you. Do this several times until you have a paste.
3. Over medium heat, bring all the ingredients to a boil while you are stirring.
4. Remove from the heat, cool.
5. Store in refigerator. This will keep several weeks.
