Was able to get some great plums for the 1/2 of this recipe that I made, but had to resort to canned apricots! Used just under 1/4 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes, & still had A GREAT PLUM SAUCE! Had it with a small pork roast & look forward to using it in chicken dishes! Thanks for posting the recipe!
