-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 pound whole wild plums -- (or pitted regular plums)
3 cloves garlic -- (to 4) minced
1 tablespoon fresh gingerroot -- minced
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper -- (use less if you like)
1 tsp soy sauce -- (or salt to taste)
1/4 teaspoon shallot -- or onion salt (optional)
As needed: sugar or other sweetener and/or
vinegar
Pick over the plums to remove any stems or debris and rinse them well.
Place in a saucepan and add water just to barely cover them. Bring to a
boil, reduce heat, and simmer until skins have burst and plums are soft,
about 20-30 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool for a few minutes.
Place a colander over a bowl. Put the plums in the colander and press with
the back of a spoon to squeeze out the juice. (You could also do this in a
cheesecloth bag.) Allow the plums to drain until all juice is removed.
Heat a saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute the minced garlic and ginger
in a tablespoon of water for 2 minutes, adding more water if needed to
prevent sticking. Add the plum juice and the remaining ingredients. Bring
to a low boil and simmer until mixture reduces and thickens by almost
half. (It took mine about 15 minutes.) Taste to see if any sauce is sweet
or sour enough; if not add sweetener or vinegar to taste.
Use warm or refrigerate for later use.
