How to Make Tangy Plum Barbecue Sauce Plum Syrup 2 In One

  1. Combine all ingredients (except the 1/4 cup water) in a large saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the plums have broken down and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  3. After 45 minutes, remove about 1 cup of the sauce and set it aside. This will be your plum syrup.
  4. To the remaining sauce in the saucepan, continue to simmer for another 10-15 minutes, or until it reaches your desired consistency. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly. You can blend it for a smoother texture, if preferred.
  6. For the plum syrup, add 1/4 cup of water to the reserved 1 cup of plum sauce and stir.
  7. Simmer the plum syrup over low heat for 5-10 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. This step helps concentrate the plum flavour.
  8. Once cooled, transfer both the barbecue sauce and the plum syrup to airtight containers. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
