Preparation
Step 1
Place the cinnamon, cloves, coriander and star anise in a muslin bag or a clean chux and secure with string. Place remaining ingredients, except the sugar, in a preserving pan or large saucepan. Add the bag of spices, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Preheat the oven 160°C. Place sugar on a lined baking tray and heat in oven for 2-3 minutes until warmed through (this helps the sugar dissolve into the sauce). Stir the warm sugar into the plum mixture and cook for a further 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent catching, until reduced and thickened. Cool slightly, discard spices, then blend in batches until smooth. Pour into warm, sterilised bottles, then seal and store in a cool place for 2-3 weeks before serving. Keep in the fridge for 2-3 months after opening.
