  1. This is a 5 star sauce.
     
  2. Great sauce and easy to make. Thumbs up from all my family members.
     
  3. I thought the plum sauce was a bit too vinegary, next time I will use less. Other then that the final result was good.
     
  4. Use half the amount of vinegar, and half the amount of cayenne pepper, but double the amount of sugar. This is excellent!
     
  5. As written this was HORRIBLE. So sour we could not eat it, opened all fully canned jars to re can and add tripple the amount of sugar. I am wondering if the typeof plums used made any difference, The only thing i can think of is the skins on the plums maybe made the sauce more sour. The plums here in nova scotia are quite sour at times. they were so ripe however they fell apart in my hands when pitting them. EXCLUDE the vinegar, and add double the sugar. Base the sugar and vinegar amounts on the sourness/sweetness of the first plum mixture.
