Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups ripe plums pitted and chopped
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¼ cup water
  • 10 –12 fresh mint leaves
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes optional

Instructions
 

Prepare the Plums

  • Wash the plums properly under clean water. Remove the seeds and cut them into small pieces. This helps them cook faster and evenly in the sauce.

Cook the Plums

  • Place chopped plums in a saucepan. Add water and sugar. Cook on medium heat. Stir gently until the plums become soft and start breaking down.

Mash the Mixture

  • Once plums are soft, mash them using a spoon or blender. The texture should become smooth but slightly thick. This forms the base of the sauce.

Add Flavor Ingredients

  • Add lemon juice, salt, and chili flakes. Stir well to combine. These ingredients balance sweetness with a slight tangy and spicy flavor.

Add Fresh Mint

  • Chop fresh mint leaves and add them to the sauce. Stir gently so the mint flavor spreads evenly. This step gives a refreshing aroma and taste.

Simmer the Sauce

  • Cook the mixture on low heat for 5 more minutes. Stir occasionally to avoid sticking. The sauce will thicken and become glossy.

Cool and Store

  • Remove from heat and let it cool completely. Pour into a clean glass jar. Store in the refrigerator for later use.

Notes

  • Use ripe plums for natural sweetness
  • Add honey instead of sugar for a healthier option
  • Increase chili for a spicy version
  • Blend for a smoother sauce
  • Add ginger for extra warmth
