Black doris chinese five-spice sauce

Other dark red-fleshed plums could be used.

Ingredients

1 kg	Black Doris plum, halved and stoned (Main)
1	Onion, diced
1 Tbsp	Grated ginger
1 Tbsp	Lemon juice
1 cup	Sugar
1 cup	Cider vinegar
½ cup	Water
1 tsp	Chinese five spice (Main)
1 tsp	Salt
½ tsp	Chilli flakes

Directions

1. Place all the ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally for 30-40 minutes, until the plums and onion are soft.
