This tangy sauce is perfect, it was wonderful served with pork spring rolls. This easy recipe doesn't require you to peel the fruit. The skins provided tartness that complimentes the sweetness of the fruit. The plum skins also provide natural pectin to thicken the sauce. Posted here for play in Culinary Quest, recipe courtesy...
