The other night we were making Asian meatballs for dinner and I wanted a plum sauce to go over the top of them.
I couldn’t find any at the grocery store.
So I decided to make my own homemade plum sauce.
This plum sauce turned out to be so tasty.
Not only did it taste super good over those meatballs but the house smelled incredible.
Another advantage of making it myself is that I got to experiment with the flavors and spices.

About The Ingredients:
The sweetener – We try and eat as low carb and Keto as we can.

This leads us to try out sugar alternatives.
Swerve is our sugar alternative of choice.
You can absolutely use sugar instead of Swerve in this recipe.
If using sugar it is a 1:1 ratio from Swerve to sugar. So still use 4 tablespoons of sugar.
Allspice – Traditional plum sauce often calls for stars of anise.
That isn’t my favorite flavor profile so I did a substitute.
I used allspice instead and the flavor really popped for me.
