This is a simple dipping sauce usually used with deep fried items such as
spring rolls and the stuffed chicken wings I shall post shortly.
Boil the water, and add the pickled plums (sometimes sold as 'salted
plums'), and simmer for five minutes.
Remove the plums to a food processor and puree them.
Continue to boil the water, adding and dissolving the sugar, then adding
the vinegar and salt. If any sugar is still undissolved, add a little more
water until it dissolves.
Return the plums to the mixture, and then pour over the other ingredients
in a sterilized preserving jar, and keep in a cool place for at least a
week before using.
