Plum sauce
Description
Universal dressing for salads and hot dishes. The plum sauce can be canned for winter or stored in the refrigerator under plastic lids. In any case, jars and lids must be sterilized for long-term storage. The cooking time and final volume of the sauce depend on your preferred sauce consistency. I make mine medium-thick, cooking for 30–40 minutes, adjusting salt and sugar directly on the stove. If you need to add more sugar or salt, make sure to boil the sauce for another minute after adjusting. Serve the sauce with meat, fish, or use it as a salad dressing.
