The plum trees lost all their blooms in a cold snap, and it’s difficult to find Ume plums in my area – so I’m improvising this year with unripened yellow peaches!

What am I looking at? Whole plums in mason jars with water and rock sugar? Or is that alcohol and not water? That’s fascinating either way, I wouldn’t have guessed that is how you make umeshu, which is suffice to say, delicious.

I made some last year. It’s momoshu. I should have used way less sugar. I used similar proportions to umeshu. It is extremely sweet. I think it might be good with some dry lemon soda.

Yum. You should try Lemon-shu. My Mil made it a few years ago and it was delicious.

Yum! Also – I think we have the same olive oil 😆 it’s so good.
