  1. This recipe was absolutely fabulous! I was looking for a creative way to use up some of my frozen plums from last year. I doubled the recipe, increased the onions to 2 cups, ginger to 2 & 1/2 Tbs and didn't double the pepper flakes (I'm a light weight). Delicious, thick glaze! Thanks Rita
     
  2. Nice balance of flavors! From comments below, used rice wine vinegar for a smooth tartness and puréed plums before cooking. Thickened nicely.
     
  3. This is pretty good, nice balance between sweet and spicy. Next time I may use a rice vinegar, used a distilled white this time and it still had a little bit of a vinegar taste. I had a hard time getting the sauce to thicken, until I mashed the bits of fruit in a sieve and returned the mashed fruit to the pan as its own pectin. Pretty much followed the recipe except for the ginger, which I used a powdered ginger, doubled. Hoping it sets up well. Thank you for sharing.
     
  4. Delicious! The recipe was spot on for me. It was ready to can in 95 minutes. Made exactly five 8-ounce jars. Thanks so much for the recipe.
     
  5. Great taste! Cooked on my gas stove and it thickened in way less time than the recipe estimates, only about 40 minutes. Used immersion blender once the plums softened. Very easy and delicious, I can't wait to use this.
