Damson in disguise!!!! The best sweet and sour dipping sauce you will ever taste

I make this yummy dipping sauce quite often but  this time it was a little different as it was for a client for her event so I was excited for all their guests to try it but also apprehensive that it might just be me who thought it was amazing….Thankfully it got a big thumbs up.. yippee and they happily smothered it all over the stuffed rice and seitan rolls.

This sauce is great for marinating too! It tastes like a mixture of Christmas and sitting in a Chinese restaurant and who doesn’t love both these things.

Pop the ingredients below into a pot and bring to a boil, reduce, blend and leave for a few hours to let the flavours merge. This had three hours just relaxing taking in the kitchen views and it made all the difference. This is very much a flavour to your liking sauce so interpret to suit yourself. (Personally I am a chilli addict so would normally spice this baby up)

2 cups of damsons or plums work well too.
Generous squeeze of agave syrup
Splash of apple cider vinegar
Teaspoon of nutmeg, chinese 5 spice, cinnamon, garlic powder (a cross over of cinnamon here as it’s in 5 spice too but I think it’s the key to the warmth here yum)
A tablespoon of ginger paste
A nice pour of soy sauce
Pinch of salt and pepper

Voila!
