Plum Sauce

Plum sauce is a thick, sweet and sour condiment made from plums, sugar, vinegar and spices such as ginger, garlic or chilli. It is a staple of Asian cuisine, particularly Chinese cooking, where it is served alongside duck, spring rolls or stir-fried vegetables. Homemade versions made from fresh or dried plums offer a more pronounced fruity flavour. In European cooking, it pairs beautifully with game, pork or as a base for marinades. The combination of sweet, sour and mildly spiced notes makes this sauce an exceptionally versatile ingredient in both Asian and Western kitchens.
