Thanks to @bellyrumbles for your Easy Chilli Plum Sauce Recipe – goo.gl/G2qhsv which I used over the weekend with some adaptions to create a delicious sugar plum chilli sauce. Now I have a heap of it to enjoy in coming weeks!
My version follows…
Prep time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 50 minutes
Ingredients:
1kg of sugar plums chopped with seeds kept for mixture
150 g caster sugar
100g brown sugar
500ml white wine vinegar
10-12 small red chillies
1/2 finger size piece of ginger cut into pieces
10 g salt
2 star anise
I tablespoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
Handful of fresh curry leaves (2 large sprigs with leaves removed from stems)
Method:
Chop sugar plums into pieces keeping the bits with the stone.
Put rest of ingredients in large heavy based non-stick pot and slowly bring to a simmer.
simmer for 45-50 minutes until fruit has gone past pulpy to form a sauce
Allow to cool for 10 minutes or so
Strain in portions through a fine sieve to seperate sauce from seeds, leaves and spices, pushing sauces and juices through with the back of a wooden spoon.
Pour into sterilised glass container and allow to cool thoroughly before fitting with airtight lid
Will last in fridge for 4-6 weeks but will be eaten before then!!
Looks tasty ๐

Great post Shanthini from a fellow dip/chutney fan – and useful tip for me on straining out spices and seeds at the end too ๐
