What do you do with 3 shriveled plums that no one will eat? You make a plum sauce. I did not know what I was doing, but oh well, cut in half and throw in a pot with some water and sugar and then decide what to do with it. I was so lucky to find a recipe that used some of the ingredients I had on hand. I served with barbecued chicken strips and let who ever wanted to try it could take a dip. The recipe, with a minor adjustments was from http://www.marthastewart.com/343259/warm-plum-sauce?czone=food/produce-guide-cnt/summer-produce-recipes¢er=276955&gallery=275422&slide=263381

Ingredients

3 - red plums and 6 sweet, yellow plums, pitted
1/2 cup sugar, more or less for taste
1 cup water
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon minced garlic, more or less for taste

How To Make plum sauce, my first

Step 1

You can follow the directions on martha's page or follow mine here.

Step 2

Cut plums in half, take pits out and add to a pot with the water and sugar and simmer for about 1/2 to 1 hr., removing skins as they cook down. (I had already simmered red plums and cooked down until I found this recipe and then added the rest of the plums and simmered until I could remove the skins with a fork.)
Step 3

After the plums have cooked down and skins removed, add the garlic, balsamic vinegar and salt. Continue to simmer until, you get the thickness you desire.
Step 4

Remove from stove and put into a bowl and serve warm. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired (I opted out). I put a large spoon in the bowl and let everyone that wanted to try the sauce could or put into individual serving dishes for each plate. I had to have seconds. This sauce was very tasty.
