When it comes to saving money one of the most expensive things we spend on are premade sauces. If you have access to fruit trees, wild or in someones garden or orchard or have a market near you that sells it’s past it’s best fruit for really cheap like I found then this is an incredible way to make the best use of those plums.

In this video I teach you guys how to make the best of your windfall or pass their best plums by making the most amazing plum Sauce so last year I went to C cake market and I bought some P their best plums for a pound a box I was absolutely over the moood now I have pre- stoned these and cut them in halves and they’re going straight into my jam pot it’s just picking out the ones that

Are really really really past their best that just just cannot be helped anymore you know because that’s important too you don’t want to have anything that is really that far gone on that day that I went to Kurt Gate Market I did a lot of

Prep work to make sure that a lot of the fruit that I bought was going to last me a little bit longer I could have put these in the freezer but at that moment I didn’t think about it let’s be honest but it’s all good we’ve got the really really really

Really mkey ones gone now so two around 2.5 kilos or 2 kilos of uh plums you’re going to want to add about 2 cups of of soft brown sugar now I’m using my mug because I’m eyeballing it but you know if you’ve got a cup measure and you’re more

Comfortable doing that do that not a problem now I’ve also added a good tablespoon of ground ginger you could use fresh ginger if you have it I don’t happen to have it on this day I’ve also added in some homemade chili flakes about a table tablespoon not even

That and I’m also adding in some light soy sauce but dark will do if that’s what you’ve got use it use what you’ve got next we’re going to add in our apple cider vinegar and I’m going to put a good couple of cups of this into our

Plum sauce now you can see this has been an incredibly quick process and if you pre-prepare your fruit or you have frozen fruit or whatever this is just as easy to do and as you can see this is incredibly simple to put together and incredibly quick as well now you want to

Make sure that you stir it all well together because you don’t want the sugar landing on the bottom of the pot and perhaps causing you know a little bit of toffee burnt this we don’t want B now I do suggest stirring this until you can feel on the bottom of the

Pan there’s no grittiness left from the sugar so it’s all dissolved so that you don’t have a major worry with it catching which will lead to burning and we don’t want burning we just want yummy sauce now you need to keep a little bit

Of an eye on this but you want to bring it up to the boil and once it’s been at the boil you want to boil it for 15 20 minutes until all the fruit has gone really really soft and it smells incredible but do double check it

Every now and again to make sure that nothing’s sticking on the bottom now I know I’ve gone on about it a little bit but it’s really important anything that’s Jam anything that’s Chutney anything that’s got sugar in it or fruit content or anything like that in a big pot as it evaporates is

Liable to stick and catch on the bottom that’s where your burnt will come in and you put a lot of work in and you don’t want the whole lot ruined by smok and burnt Flavor now once we’ve bubbled to the point where you’re happy with it you

Need to get your handy dandy emerging blender or if you don’t have one of these stick blenders then stick it in a blender itself but I would suggest calling it right down first cuz we don’t want any explosive you know situ cooling it off before putting in a

Blender will only mean that it’ll take a little bit longer to bring up to temperature back up to temperature again which is fine cuz we’re going to cook this down a wee bit longer just to give it that really nice anxious plum sauce thickness now if you’ve been enjoying

This video guys please do go give it a thumbs up if you’d like to see more videos like this please do subscribe to the channel I have so much on leftovers and winds and all of that kind of things that you could be using and making this stuff for pennies

You have no idea so yeah go do that and share me with your friends don’t K me to yourself I’m not a secret there’s plenty of me to go around oh and if you do try this let me know how you like it I want

To know leave me a comment down below oh I’ll get back to you now you want to make sure while you are doing this that you have got all the lumpy bits out this is not a source that you want to have any kind of consistency with apart from something along the

Lines of ketchup maybe a little bit thicker I mean this this sauce in reality you could put it in a squeezy bottle and use it cold if that’s what you wanted to do I would cook it down a little bit further than I’m going to for this

Purpose just to make sure it’s thick enough now as I live in the UK and I do not live in the US I use sterilized reusable recycled jars and Lids to put my sauces in now I use the hot pack method all it is is popping the hot

Sauce straight into the jars putting the lids on tipping them upside down and leaving them overnight to fully cool off when you tip them back up the lid will have sealed and your sauce will be completely completely fine to use and it’ll be shelf stable so it’s going to last for

Ages of course however if you are going to recy like all your jars that you’ve already got and your Lids you want to double check that they have no scratches no Nicks no rusting no nothing on them and that the jars have no chips around the edges at

All my habit is to reuse a good lid one maybe two times and then I will purchase brand new lids so I don’t have to purchase Lids as often always a bit very want to try new things because Tanny can be incredibly picky but can I just tell

You that man would sit there with a jar of this sauce and drink it I kid you not he loves it so much he’s always trying to invent ways of me to use it I am down to my last jar at this point so I’m pretty glad that we’re getting to a

Stage where I might just need to go and buy some more plums and I’ll be making twice twice as much of this sauce because it was a absolute hit now I’ve used it in loads of different ways over the last eight months I’ve used it as part of a noodle

Sauce to toss over noodles I’ve used it uh with pork I’ve used it with chicken I’ve used it with beef I’ve used it with veggie dishes we’ve used it as a dipping sauce it’s been a marinade it’s been aown r on sauce it’s been all kinds of

Things just remember if the jars that you are popping your sauce into or a little bit bigger than you would normally use just pop it in the fridge once it’s open it will still keep for a long time a long time before you need to

Have any worries about it so I mean just us doesn’t get to last that long because tanny’s literally in there with his fingers he’s a bad man and like I say with any new sauce or Jam or anything like that that you’re going to make only make a small batch

First okay you may not like it but you know you might end up with a really good surprise like we did I’ve ended up with 2 and 1/2 lers which is about a gallon of really yummy plum sauce and it’s cost me less than £2 for the lot so don’t forget to check

Out your local markets guys you never know the bargains you’re going to get and the amazing products you can put on your shelf for pennies I’ll see you again really really soon have a great rest of your week guys Bye

  1. Team replay, Bloo. It looks delicious! The only way I've ever had plum sauce was plum pork… the American/Chinese version. Thank you for showing us how to make it. 💕💕💕

  2. Thanks just the recipe i needed coz i have plums on the trees rotting every year that I didn't know what to do with.

  3. Even though I live in the U.S. I still use my old jars, we seem to forget how our ancestors bottled things. A lid with a rubber gasket. Thanks Bloo. Thinking of you.
