My friend Miyuki send me a recipe of Pickled Plum, it calls “Ume no Suzuke”.

The recipe is below. (please click the printer icon, if you want to keep the recipe)

↓↓↓

1 pack of Plum (approximately 200g)

1/3 Cup of Vinegar (Japanese recipe 1 cup is 200cc! be careful!! it is not 250cc)

1 Cup of Water

(pint of sugar)

Put all ingredients into a container, then keep it in Refrigerator!

I don’t know exactly how long does it need to keep in Refrigerator, but I guess you can eat 7 days later.

Miyuki’s recipe reminds me “Plum Juice”. My mum made plum juice every summer for us!

It is very easy to make. So I put this recipe as well.

Ingredients are Green Plum and Sugar Candy (Rock Candy), both should be same ratio.

So if you use 1 kg of dry plum, you need 1 kg of sugar candy.

Take stem off from green plums and wipe it with cloth
Put plums into resealable bag and place into freezer for a day
Next day, put plums and sugar candy alternately into a container
Leave it cool place for 10 days
Plum extract is in the container
When you drink it, mix the plum extract with the water. (plum extract 1 : water 3~5)

Don’t keep it long, drink it within 2 weeks!
