    I washed and dried about 3 lbs of green plum, removed the stems, then using a food scale, weighed out an equal amount of sugar. I sanitized the jars in boiling water and layered the sugar and plums, being sure they were covered at the top. Using extra sugar is okay if you don’t have enough to cover, just make sure you don’t go below the 1:1 ratio. These will be stored in a cool, dry place for 90 days, and stirred!

    We make this annually, but my mom decided to skip it this summer since we have so much leftover from last year. I’m planning to make some cheong with lemon and peach instead when they start showing up!
