Clue was my favorite game growing up. Who am I kidding? It still is! Who doesn’t love figuring out “who did it???” Professor Plum, with the revolver, in the library. YES!
So naturally, when I found myself with extra plum sauce, this recipe from The Junior League of Seattle cookbook was a natural.
I love the flavor of plum coupled with something spicy or tangy. It balances the sweet of the plum and gives it an exotic flair. You can go either way with this recipe – Asian inspired or southwest infused. You can add ingredients to it according to which way you go. For example, up the jalapeños if going southwest, or add some hoisin sauce if going asian. Have fun with it!
And after your meal, of course, break out Clue…..
