Chinese five spice plum sauce

Pix from my favourite food site - taste.com.au

Ingredients
1kg any kind of plums, stoned and halved
1 red onion, finely chopped
1 Tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp salt
1 tsp Chinese five spice
1/2 tsp chili flakes

Method
Place all ingredients in a large saucepan over high heat. Bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring, for 30 minutes or until plums collapse.
Use a stick blender to blend until smooth. Pour hot sauce into sterilised bottles. Seal, label and date.

Chook's note: this sauces should be \tweaked to your own personal taste - more or less bite. I made half quantity and that produced one 330ml bottle - I've been used beer bottles with ceramic stoppers but you might to try something smaller.
I sterilise my bottles and jars in the dishwasher on 'Quick + Dry' setting.
