Classic Plum Tkemali Sauce for Winter

A zesty sauce that brings out the best in your favorite meat dishes. For convenience, it's best to boil the plums in the evening and leave them to cool overnight. The classic version uses no fresh peppers — in that case, use a tablespoon each of ground paprika and chili.

  • Boil the plums and peppers until soft, then let them cool. Press the mixture through a sieve, then through a fine strainer, set it over the heat, and cook. An hour after it comes to a boil, add the cilantro and garlic (run through a meat grinder), the khmeli-suneli, ground red pepper, and salt. Stir and simmer over low heat until done. Pour the hot sauce into jars that you've warmed in the oven, seal them with lids, turn them upside down, and cover with a warm blanket.
