Ingredients
- 3 plums
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ¼ cup red wine
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 star anise
Instructions
- Cut the plums into small pieces, and remove the pits.
- Place the plums in a small pot, along with the brown sugar, beef broth, red wine and star anise. Whisk the sauce to quickly dissolve the brown sugar
- Bring the sauce to a boil over medium heat, and reduce it to a simmer. Allow to cook for 5-10 minutes, or until the plums are soft.
- Remove the star anise from the sauce. Use a potato masher or the back of a spoon to carefully mash the soft plums. This will give the sauce a thicker consistency.
- Serve the plum sauce immediately, or allow it to reduce by simmering it for a few minutes longer. The sauce will gradually thicken the longer you cook it.

Notes
- Store leftover sauce in a refrigerator for up to 4 days. This is a great sauce to prepare in advance.
- You can use vegetable stock or chicken broth instead of beef broth if you like. A bouillon cube and water can also be used.
- Omit the wine to make a child friendly version.
