Perry Santanachote, TheKitchn.com on

Plum Sauce

Makes 1 cup

1 cup water

1 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup umeboshi paste (pickled plum purée), or 6 umeboshi plums (Japanese pickled plums)

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1. Place 1 cup water, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup umeboshi paste (or 6 pickled plums), and 2 tablespoons rice vinegar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, whisking the mixture to combine.

 

2. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the liquid thickens and reduces to about 1 cup, 35 to 45 minutes.

3. If using whole plums, remove and discard them. Transfer the sauce to a bowl and let cool.

Recipe note: Plum sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to three months.
