📝 Instructions:
-
Roast and Peel Peppers: Begin by roasting the red bell peppers until charred. Once roasted, peel off the skin, remove the seeds, and set aside for later use.
-
Prepare Fruits: In a large pot, combine the apricots, plums, and 2 cups of cider vinegar. Simmer the mixture until the fruits are tender, which should take approximately 30 minutes.
-
Create Sauce Base: In another large pot, mix the remaining 2 cups of cider vinegar with white sugar, brown sugar, and light corn syrup. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
-
Combine Ingredients: Once boiling, add the simmered fruit mixture, roasted bell peppers, garlic cloves, gingerroot slices, kosher salt, onion, and cinnamon sticks to the pot.
-
Simmer: Cover the pot and let the ingredients simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Remove Lid: After 10 minutes, remove the lid and continue to simmer the sauce for an additional hour, stirring occasionally.
-
Remove Cinnamon Sticks: After an hour of simmering, remove the cinnamon sticks from the pot.
-
Puree Mixture: Transfer the mixture to a food processor and puree until smooth.
-
Thicken Sauce: Return the pureed mixture to the pot and bring it to a boil. Let it boil until the sauce thickens, which should take around 15 minutes.
-
Sterilize Jars: While the sauce is thickening, prepare your jars by sterilizing them in boiling water.
-
Fill Jars: Once sterilized, carefully ladle the hot plum sauce into the sterile jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace at the top.
-
Process Jars: Process the filled jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure proper sealing and preservation.
-
