Too sweet, too salty, and honestly, kind of boring. Yet somehow, one always made it into my shopping basket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then one summer, my neighbor handed me a giant basket of plums from her garden. I couldn\u2019t possibly eat them all (even plum streusel cake has its limits), so I started experimenting. The result? This homemade BBQ sauce with plums \u2014 <strong>fruity, tangy, smoky,<\/strong> and worlds better than anything you\u2019ll find in a bottle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every year when plum season rolls around, I get excited to whip up another batch. It\u2019s perfect for summer cookouts, marinating tofu, or even as a dip for fries.<\/p>\n\n\n[feast_advanced_jump_to]\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/plum-bbq-sauce-7434.jpg\" alt=\"homemade fruity bbq sauce vegan\" class=\"wp-image-3009\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/plum-bbq-sauce-7434.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/plum-bbq-sauce-7434-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/plum-bbq-sauce-7434-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/plum-bbq-sauce-7434-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/plum-bbq-sauce-7434-720x900.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/plum-bbq-sauce-7434-360x450.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.veggiejam.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/plum-bbq-sauce-7434-180x225.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"ingredient-notes\"   class=\"wp-block-heading\" >Ingredient Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll only need 8 simple ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Plums<\/strong> \u2013 provide natural sweetness and a thick texture<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ginger<\/strong> \u2013 adds freshness and a gentle heat<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Red chili<\/strong> \u2013 for spice (skip for mild)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Apple cider vinegar<\/strong> \u2013 balances with acidity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Molasses &amp; raw cane sugar<\/strong> \u2013 depth, sweetness &amp; a light caramel note (or swap with coconut sugar or maple syrup)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Liquid smoke<\/strong> \u2013 gives that signature BBQ flavor (or use \u00bd teaspoon smoked paprika)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sea salt &amp; water<\/strong> \u2013 the basics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See recipe card for quantities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background-color:#f6f7f1\"><strong><em>Tip<\/em>:<\/strong> Use ripe, juicy plums.
