I dont get fancy, i just boil them down with water and sugar. Next I strain them to remove the pits and skin.Keep everything else
Then i make a paste with custard powder and water to thicken it.
I keep this in the fridge once cooled and add it to my cereals and deserts
I also add spices to make it a spicy plum sauce - sooooo delicious with pork and chicken.
Shelf life isn't long so its best frozen in portions and defrosted as needed.
This can also be done with apricot fam.
