I'm planning on making chicken skewers and am in need of a thick,
sweet and spicy dipping sauce. I don't want to do a Thai-style peanut
sauce. I'm thinking more of a fruity spicy barbecue sort of thing, but
without the ketchup-y BBQ tang. I hope this makes sense. I'm hoping to
marinade the chicken in this sauce, then grill it (stovetop) and have
some reserved for dipping.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

A couple of weeks ago I made a plum sauce to go with some smoked ribs. Sorry, no recipe, I just sort of stirred and tasted as I went along.

Sautee a minced shallot in a little bit oil until it's tender. Stir in a jar of plum preserves, a splash of soy sauce and a couple of splashes of rice vinegar. Season with white pepper for heat (maybe 1/2 teaspoon?). Simmer briefly to combine flavors. Taste, adding more vinegar and/or soy sauce if necessary. If it seems too thick stir in a little orange juice to thin it out. I also added a drizzle of sesame oil just before serving.




I thought plum sauce was made with apricot preserves.

So there's like, an official "plum sauce" (which doesn't include plums), and it's not just a description of the main ingredient of the baste-y substance?
