We have a self sown plum tree in our garden it produces fairly tangy, yellow fleshed plums with dark purple skins, in fact they look a bit like the Grand Duke plums that grew in the orchard on the farm where I grew up. Unfortunately our tree doesn’t crop very well so I try not to let the plums go to waste, after I’d taken these photos I turned the fruit into plum sauce. The recipe I use is one my grandmother used to make; don’t you love old family recipes like this?.With these plums it makes a wonderful dark red, tangy sauce.
Grandma’s Plum Sauce
6 lb plums (I remove the stones to make the sieving easier at the end)
2 lb onions
3 lb sugar
3 pints vinegar (I use malt vinegar)
1 tbsp ground ginger
2 tsp salt
2 tsp ground cloves
pinch of cayenne
Boil all together till soft, then put through a sieve or mouli/food mill. Bottle in clean hot jars.
Use as a condiment and also in cooking, it’s great in marinades, casseroles etc.
