Ingredients

4 large plums, pitted and cut into 1/4-inch dice

1 large clove garlic, very finely minced

2 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds

Preparation

In a medium saucepan, combine all ingredients except sesame seeds; cook over high heat for 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium high and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid thickens and the plums have softened and broken down to the consistency of a chunky preserve, about 15 minutes.

Remove from heat, transfer plum sauce to a serving dish, and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Serve warm.
