How to Make Asian Plum Sauce at Home || Sweet & Savory

Let's add a new flavor profile to the pantry! A great topping for a Stir Fry, Fried Rice, Beef and Broccoli, Moo Shoo Pork, Egg Roll in a Bowl, etc. I feel a craving coming on just typing that out!

    Success! I doubled the Asian plum sauce recipe; it yielded 19, 1/4 pints. Since our family are big fans of Asian sauces, I knew they would love it. We used it as a dipping sauce for our chicken tenders at lunch. Of course, they loved it! Our local Orchard had 8 pound crates of the plums. The remaining plums will be made into plum jelly in the morning. Thank you, Carter! By the way, my three sons and husband believe that I am the wrecking ball in the kitchen! I find myself smiling and laughing while watching your videos.

    I doubled the recipe, which made 11 half-pints, and used allulose and a little molasses instead of sugar. One shortcut is to use 1 1/4 t pumpkin pie spice which contains all the spices in the recipe. Turned out delicious! Thank you, Carter!

    Carter, I'm putting this recipe on my must try list. You're rather sweet and savory yourself. I did some zucchini canning this weekend to save some monster geriatric squash. There were moments of terror, upon realizing my smaller canner would be on minimal clearance with pints... so ... on to grandmas Mirro canner in the garage. A couple of weeping blow out plug scares, and slow heat uptake, and I did manage to get 5 quarts and 3 pints out the other end of the rainbow. The old girl needed a run to reset the parts that must seal to get to 10lbs. Now I'm ready to keep canning, cats, dogs, squirrels, NO... vegetables for the rest of the summer and fall. Bless you, W

    I made plum sauce from a recipe I found online in June. We have used it with eggroll in a bowl and enjoyed. The one I found doesn’t have as many spices although it does have hot peppers. Mine has only fresh grated ginger and mustard seed but none of the warm fall spices this one includes. I’m excited to hear how you enjoy and use this one! Carter, you have inspired me to try the every bit counts challenge that begins in August. I don’t have KZread but I’ve been practicing by posting what I’ve made in July on my Instagram. Several of mine will be quick, but things we can store and use. I still work 3 days a week. I’ve taken time to write a list of items, I can consider. I plan to watch everything you do.

    I prefer the ForJars lids. So far I haven't come across any damaged ones, they seal very well, and retain the seal. The other common brand regularly has scratched or dented lids in a package and they don't seal consistently. Even worse, they don't always stay sealed! It's as though they don't care about quality at all. That sauce looks great!

    Ooh! This is intriguing... though neither my hubby or I can stand cloves, so I'd omit them. Hmm, that said, I also cannot handle heat (total certified wuss... even black pepper makes my face flush), so I'm thinking by the time I'd be done modifying the recipe it would just be plum jam 😅I'd be good with that though!!! So, I'm guessing you didn't feel comfortable subbing allulose for this one? I'm betting David's list of foods he's not fond of isn't very long, so we might forgive him for not loving egg roll in a bowl. He seems to love everything else you've had him taste test! I have a different model Cuisinart stick blender, and I rarely make a mess but I think its because I'm more cautious using it. My Ninja blender on the other hand, has a motor similar to Vitamix blenders and sounds like the Daytona 500. Even though I'm careful not to overfill it, I have spattered out the (closed) pouring spout almost every time I have used it... including when I made that sauce with the orange Sunrise Sauce tomatoes. That time I didn't have the spout lid closed at all, and let me tell you, orange sauce went *everywhere*, but mostly on the white upper cabinet. Yeah, fun times. I have to hit the grocery store tomorrow, so let's see if I remember to get plums!
