This recipe was kindly supplied by Tina from the West Coast, in the Summer Harvest Recipe competition. Tina says: "I used to love plum sauce but oddly rhubarb has now stolen the show! This is the reason I now have 3 rhubarb plots around my garden - such a versitile recipe - it's delicious as it is but I often chuck in whatever else is ready around the garden - plums, apples, cherry toms. You can make it as sweet or spicy as you desire - it's delicious on meat both hot & cold, with crackers, on baked potatoes - I'd eat sausages all day so long as I could dip them in this delicious sauce!!"
