Red Plum Tkemali Sauce

An unusually vibrant sauce for your table — it doesn't get tastier than this! I've made tkemali sauce many times, but never before with red plums. It turned out absolutely fantastic — rich, tangy, with a wonderful aroma! The amount below yields three 220 ml (about 7 oz) jars for me, and they're gone within a couple of weeks. Give it a try — you'll nail it too!
