You can give those to your Sauron-<em>excuse me<\/em>-worm bin, or compost. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Combine the plums, vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and star anise in a large nonreactive pot, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until thickened, 20 to 25 minutes. Fish out the star anise (if using) and discard. Pur\u00e9e the sauce with a stick immersion blender if your warg bounder allows. You could also use a regular blender or food processor once the sauce has cooled a bit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ladle into bowls, jars, or bags. Cool, cover, and refrigerate for up to 3 weeks. Note: I set aside the sauce I thought we would use that meal, then portioned the rest into freezer-safe bags, labeled them, and placed them in the freezer for future deliciousness. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Alternatively, you can use the boiling-water method for canning. Ladle into clean, hot 4-ounce or half-pint canning jars, leaving 1\/4 inch of headspace. Release trapped air. Wipe the rims clean; center lids on the jars and screw on jar bands. Process for 10 minutes. Turn off heat, remove canner lid, and let jars rest in the water for 5 minutes. Remove jars and set aside for 24 hours. Check seals, then store in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Modified from a recipe by Caroline Russock<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/23-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-119669 no-lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/23-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/23-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/23-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/23-255x143.png 255w, https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/23.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Happy Hobbit has brought Middle-earth to its viewers&#8217; daily lives since 2012! <gwmw style=\"display:none;\"><\/gwmw>Learn more hobbity recipes, crafts, and more by watching new episodes and\/or perusing the 10+ years worth of videos on their YouTube channel. \ud83c\udf3b <strong>New episodes debut every other Saturday<\/strong>, so be sure you are subscribed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/TORnHappyHobbit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong>Happy Hobbit<\/strong><\/a> so that you don&#8217;t miss out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get even more slow-living hobbit content by following Happy Hobbit on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thehappyhobbits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Instagram<\/strong><\/a>,<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/HappyHobbitOfficial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Facebook<\/a><\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/happyhobbit1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Twitter<\/strong><\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@happy_hobbit_\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>TikTok<\/strong><\/a>!
