How to Make Plum Ketchup

  1. Wash and halve 1 pound of plums, removing the pits.
  2. Peel and thinly slice 1 large shallot.
  3. Roughly grind 1 teaspoon of black peppercorns and 1 teaspoon of coriander seeds using a mortar and pestle.
  4. Peel and thinly slice 2 cloves of garlic.
  5. In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat and sauté the shallots until translucent (about 5 minutes).
  6. Add 1 teaspoon of salt.
  7. Stir in 1/4 cup of honey, 1/2 cup of red wine, the ground pepper and coriander, 1 bay leaf, and 1 cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil, then add the halved plums.
  8. Reduce heat to low and gently simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the ketchup reaches a jam-like consistency, stirring occasionally.
  9. Remove the bay leaf and cinnamon stick.
  10. Stir in 2 tablespoons of prepared horseradish. Puree the mixture using a blender or immersion blender until smooth.
  11. Fill the hot ketchup into sterilized canning jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Seal and store in a cool, dark place for up to 3 months.
