An easy side dish for baked ham

4 servings

Butter	1 Tbsp
Plums	1 lb
Onion	1 C
Ginger	2 tsp
Brown sugar	1 Tbsp
Vinegar	1 Tbsp

Chop onions coarsely. Remove pits and stems from plums and cut into quarters. Grate ginger.

Saute onions in butter until soft. Add plums and ginger and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add brown sugar and vinegar, and stir well. Set aside until ready to serve, then reheat. You can even make this the day before and refrigerate. The flavors blend nicely when held overnight.

Fancy it up:
Use balsamic vinegar instead of cider vinegar. Use only 1 tsp for a very subtle flavor.
