Plum juice or ume juice making can only take place in the plum season which is early June.<\/p>\n

I usually make plum juice instead of ume shu (alcohol) so that children can enjoy it, too.<\/p>\n

Here is the receipt.<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h2>\n

\u30fb1kg Ao Ume (green plums, not ripened plums) I bought them from Sakuraya<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u30fb1kg Rock Sugar\u00a0I bought them from Fairprice.<\/span><\/p>\n

Containers<\/h2>\n

\u30fb3\u2113 glass container\u00a0I bought them from Japan Home.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to make<\/h2>\n

1.\u00a0 Wash plums gently with water<\/p>\n\"wash\n

2.\u00a0 Remove stem ends<\/p>\n\"remove\n

3.\u00a0 Wipe off water from plums<\/p>\n\"water\"\n

Use kitchen paper to wipe off moisture, then let sit for 1 hour so they are completely dry.<\/p>\n\"poking\n

*Option: You can poke plums using a fork so that juice may come out faster. (My grandma always did this)<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Sterilize containers to avoid mold growth<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Place plums and rock sugar in the container<\/p>\n\"layer\"\n

Repeat the layers.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 Leave them for about 2 weeks<\/p>\n\"Ume\n

Turn the bottle to mix the juice with plums at least once a day<\/p>\n

*I am doing my experiment here. Right: without poking, Left: with poking, trying to find out some difference in taste.<\/p>\n

\"UmeAfter 2 days<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

It looks like the left one (poking) produces juice faster.<\/p>\n
