Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 pounds plums, pitted and chopped
1/2 cup diced Garnet yam (i.e., orange flesh)
1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon sea salt
For the Spice Mixture (highly recommended but see below for shortcut option):
1 2-3 inch piece cinnamon stick
2 whole star anise
4 whole cloves
1/2 teaspoon sichuan peppercorns ((NOT the same thing as black pepper))
1/4 teaspoon whole fennel seeds
OR 1 teaspoon Chinese Five Spice Powder

Steps:

  • Place all the ingredients except for the spice mixture in a medium-sized pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes. Use an immersion blender or transfer to a blender to puree until smooth (then return to pot).
  • Place the whole spices (skip if using store-bought five spice powder) in a small dry pan and toast over medium-high heat just until fragrant. Be careful not to scorch the spices or they will taste bitter. Let the spices cool and then place the whole spices in a piece of cheesecloth tied shut with string or in a tea sachet. Do the same if using store-bought ground five spice powder.
  • Place the spice packet in the pot with the plum sauce and continue to simmer uncovered for 25-45 minutes until the sauce is thickened to the desired consistency. Discard the spice packet. Let the sauce cool. Store in the fridge in an airtight non-reactive container. Will keep for up to 2 weeks.
  • CANNING INSTRUCTIONS: Ladle the hot plum sauce into sterilized jars, seal with the lids and process in a boiling water canner for 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let sit for 5 minutes. Remove the jars and let sit undisturbed for 24 hours then check the seals. Will keep in a dark, cool place for at least a year.

MANDARIN ORANGE SAUCE



Mandarin Orange Sauce image

A quick and easy sauce to serve with a scoop of ice cream, a piece of sponge cake or fruit cake, or cheesecake. Also good over pancakes, french toast, or crepes. Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream and a maraschino cherry if you like. Use fresh peaches in place of the oranges or use canned peaches with some of the juice. You can serve individual servings in wide-mouth wine glasses for pretty presentation. A great last minute dessert. I keep an angel food cake in the freezer and a couple cans of mandarin oranges in the pantry for this dessert for unexpected company.

MANDARIN SAUCE/CANNING RECIPE



Mandarin Sauce/Canning Recipe image

I had my mandarin sauce recipe for years and it was SO good. It got lost when we began our kitchen reno and I had looked everywhere for it or for one like it but despaired of ever locating its twin.

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 c tomatoes
4 c onions
4 c green bell peppers
2 - 20oz can(s) pineapple tidbits or chunks
6 3/4 c white sugar
8 Tbsp soy sauce
3 c white vinegar
1 3/4 c water - divided (1 c & 3/4 c)
1 c ultragel

Steps:

  • 1. Drain pineapple and reserve juice
  • 2. Skin tomatoes and coarsely chop
  • 3. Chop other vegetables in quarter-sized chunks
  • 4. Combine all vegetables and pineapple in 8-10qt pan.
  • 5. Add all other ingredients - EXCEPT ULTRAGEL
  • 6. Bring to boil, reduce to simmer, and cook until onion and pepper are softened..approximately 20-30 minutes
  • 7. When vegetables are nearly ready, mix ultragel with reserved juice and 3/4 cup of water. Wisk rapidly to mix thoroughly. It will be pretty thick.
  • 8. Use a large spoon and add ultragel mixture into simmering vegetable 1 spoonful at a time, mixing thoroughly to dissolve gel into sauce. Keep adding until all gel is incorporated.
  • 9. Cook, stirring constantly until sauce is thickened.
  • 10. Pour sauce into clean, hot pint (or quart) jars. Leave about 3/4 inch head space. Wipe jar rims and attach lid and cap.
  • 11. Process, 30 min for qts, 20 min for pints. I used the water bath canner because of the acid content in the sauce, but, if you prefer you can pressure as well. If using pressure canner, leave vegetables a little more crisp as they will cook when pressured.
  • 12. Use this sauce over pork, chicken, rice, beef or veggies. It is really versatile and has a bright flavor.
