February’s plums are yielding fruit now, so Tracey & I spent the afternoon making ume-shu. Check tomorrow for a how-to video and a recipe.
Posted by kuri at May 29, 2004 11:07 PMHow about Ume Juice? As much as I love Ume Shu, I make and drink much more Ume Juice each year.
Quick recipe…
substitute vinegar for the Shouchu.
Thats it.
Here are my photos of making Ume Juice last year…

I also make Ume-juice. 2k plumes and 1.2k brown suger(hunny, or suger, or block suger, anything is OK). That’s it. I’m going to get plums today my friend sent. I’ll make it tonight, and we have to wait for 1 month until we will be able to drink it.
