Plum Sweet and Sour Sauce
I also have a plum salsa here. This sweet and sour sauce is great on any fish or wild game. And remember, you don’t have to have everything deep-fried to be a sweet and sour recipe. Just pour this over your steamed/roasted/baked fish or wild game and serve with noodles or a side of rice.
