Wondering what to do with those extra green plums growing on your tree? Why not put a few aside, and make Umeshu, and give it for Christmas?
Ingredients:
-
2 lbs
green
plums
-
¾ lb
rock sugar
-
2 quarts
sake
(or soju)
Directions:
1
Clean and remove stems from plums. Individually dry them with a sterile cloth.
2
Layer the plums with rock sugar into a large, non reactive container (glass jars?), and pour the soju over them.
3
Seal well and store the jars in a cool dark place for 3 or more months. After 3 months it can be drunk, but it's better the longer you keep it.
