This is yummy ... what to do with a glut Very Happy

Contents
8lbs plums
1 lb onions
1/2 lb currants
1 lb sugar [ I used white sugar so found this was a bit mean - added extra 1/2 lb in the end]
2 oz salt [didn't use this much - again add to taste]

1/2 oz bruised root ginger [grated mine]
1/2 oz whole allspice
1/4 oc chillies [used ground mild chilli]
1/4 oz peppercorns [used mixed corns]
1/4 mustard

1 qt vinegar [I didn't add the 2nd pint in the end]

Method
1. Cut up the plums and onions, add the currants, spices and 1 pt vinegar and simmer for half an hour.

2. Rub the pulp through a sieve. [if I had put spices into a bag I thought it might have been good to be able to blitz the mush! Would have made sauce thicker, and less boiling needed]

3. Add the sugar, salt and remaining vinegar and simmer for good 1 hr to achieve thick pouring sauce consistency.

4. Bottle hot - ended up with 6 large bottles of sauce Very Happy
