I made this sauce with 2 quarts of canned plums. It gave me 6 cups with the juice, thus having me to add 1/4 cup of cornstarch as a thickening agent. I also substituted the pepper flakes for 2 small to medium red hot seeded peppers, and have used 2 habanero peepers per extra hot sauce lovers. The plum sauce is a hit no matter what you add in. We dip our egg rolls in it, and use it a lot for basting shrimp, pork, whatever you want to dip it in. Even on a cream cheese bagel. yum!

I made this plum sauce last night using plums from our Ornamental Plum tree. The Ornamental plums are SO SOUR!!! So, I am going to add 1/2 cup of sugar to it tonight. I skipped the red pepper flakes for my boyfriend's sake. But, sheesh, this is as close to plum sauce as you can get! My goal is to use this as a marinade and baste for our Chinese Pork Spareribs this week. I think we can do it! If you make this sauce as suggested, I believe it will be PERFECT. I live at 5,000 feet, so the reduction time took about 45 minutes longer, but that's not unexpected. Also, with sweet plums this recipe would be awesome. Our teeny plums are the size of cherries. Oh, and I'm not canning my sauce. I'm using half for the marinade and baste for the ribs, and freezing the rest. We'll use it up quickly, I'm sure! :) Thank you!

Thank you so much Suzanne,

This is the answer to my searching for a plum sauce for chicken, pork & ham dishes. I also I make up a couple of batches to carry us over during the winter.
