PLUM SAUCE RECIPE USING DRIED PLUMS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Combine all of the ingredients in a medium size pot. Start out with the smaller (1/2 cup) amount of water. Bring the ingredients to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes.
• Add additional water only if the sauce starts to stick to the bottom of the pot. Dried plums that were dehydrated at home tend to be drier than their commercial cousins and may require the extra water.
• Turn off the heat and let the ingredients cool for 10 minutes. Transfer them to a blender or food processor and puree the sauce until smooth. (Alternatively, leave the sauce in the pot and, after the cooling off period, puree it with an immersion blender.)
• Store the plum sauce in the refrigerator for up to three weeks, or process it in a boiling water bath so that it can be stored in sealed jars at room temperature for a year or more.
• To can the plum sauce, return it to the pot over medium heat and bring to a boil. Immediately turn off the heat and spoon the sauce into clean quarter or half-pint canning jars. It is not necessary to sterilize the jars for this recipe. Leave 1/2-inch of headspace between the surface of the food and the rims of the jars.
• Press down on the center of the sauce with the back of a spoon to release any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars clean with a moist paper or cloth towel (any sauce stuck there could prevent the lids from sealing.) Process the jars of plum sauce in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust the canning time if you live at a high altitude .)
