Rinse plums, wipe dry, halve and remove pits. Cut plums into small pieces.
Peel and finely dice the ginger root. Break star anise into 2 pieces.
In a pot, combine plums and ginger with the remaining ingredients and 1/3 cup water. Mix thoroughly to combine.
Stirring constantly, bring mixture to a boil and continue to cook for 4 minutes.
Strain mixture through a sieve into a second pot, pressing on solids to remove as much liquid as possible.
