How to Make Tangy Plum Sauce For Canning

  1. Finely chop 2 cups of plums and 1/2 cup of red onion. A food processor is recommended for efficiency.
  2. In a non-reactive saucepan, combine the chopped plums, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  3. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add 1/4 cup of red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground allspice. Stir to combine.
  5. Bring the mixture back to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 40-45 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened considerably and coats the back of a spoon.
  6. Stir occasionally during simmering to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  7. Ladle the hot sauce into sterilized jars, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace at the top of each jar.
  8. Wipe the jar rims with a clean, damp cloth. Place the heated lids and bands on the jars and tighten fingertip tight.
  9. Process the filled jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Allow jars to cool completely before checking for seals.
