Ginger-Plum Sauce

• 2 cups plums, pitted and chopped
• 1/4-2/3 cups sugar, depending on how sour the plums are
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 - 2" piece of ginger, peeled

Stir the plums and sugar together and place over medium heat. In a cup, mix the water and cornstarch and stir into the plums.

Simmer the mixture for 15 minutes, then add the ginger. Cook another 5-10 minutes or until the plums are mostly broken down. Remove from the heat, remove the ginger and serve.

This sauce can be stored for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
