Stanley Signature Plum Sauce
Recipe by Louis Tikaram
Ingredients
1kg Dark plums, pitted and chopped
1/2 cup chopped brown onion
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon sea salt
For the Spice Mix
1 piece cinnamon
2 whole star anise
4 whole cloves
1/2 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns
1/4 teaspoon whole fennel seeds
METHOD
Place all the ingredients except for the spice mixture in a medium-sized pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Use a stick blender or transfer to a blender to puree until smooth (then return to pot).
Toast the spices in a small dry pan over medium-high heat just until fragrant. Then arrange the spices in a piece of cheesecloth and tie with a long piece of string.
Place the spice in the pot with the plum sauce and continue to simmer uncovered for 30 minutes until the sauce is thickened to the desired consistency. Discard the spice then let the sauce cool.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator and use as a tasty condiment to dip spring rolls, serve with BBQ meats or just have on the table to go with everything! It’s that good.
