Material (amount that is easy to make)
Ume 500g
Granulated sugar 400g
■ How to make
[1] Ume is soaked in water overnight to remove acne.
[2] Remove bamboo shoots using bamboo skewers.
To prevent the simmering, use bamboo skewers to make holes evenly throughout the Ume.
[3] Put Ume in an enamel or stainless steel pot and put enough water to cover them and put on low heat. Boil while mixing by hand so that the plum does not hit the bottom of the pot,
When the temperature is too hot to maintain (around 50°C), discard the water.
Add fresh water and boil in the same way, and repeat this 2-3 times.
[4] Scoop up the plums with a net and take them out.
Discard the water, put the plums back in the pan, add 4 cups of water and 2/3 of the sugar
Drop the non-woven kitchen paper on the lid and heat for 10 minutes.
[5] Add the remaining sugar from the top of the gauze and heat for another 10 minutes, then turn off the heat and allow to cool.
[6] Arrange plums one by one in a clean storage container such as glass or enamel and place gauze.
