The ingredients needed to make Our Family's Umeshu:
- Get 1 1/2 kg Green ume plums

Instructions to make Our Family's Umeshu:
- Wash the jar you'll be using to make the umeshu, and sterilize it in boiling water (dry it well afterwards) or sterilize with alcohol.
- Choose green ume plums, and throw out any that are blemished. Wash them well (gently so that you don't damage) and drain into a colander.
- Take the stem ends off carefully. After removing the stem ends, wipe each ume fruit gently with paper towels.
- Make several holes in the surface of the ume plums with a bamboo skewer so that the skins won't get wrinkled.
- Put the ume plums, crystal rock sugar, distilled alcohol in the jar in that order. Put the lid on and you're done Shake it occasionally and wait for at least 3 months.
- I used this food grade alcohol spray this time.
- From left to right: 2 year old umeshu; 1 year old umeshu; and this year's batch The matured umeshu has turned an amber color.
- Since the ume plum surfaces are piereced, even after 2 years they are almost wrinkle free You can eat the plums in the liquor even after 2 years of course.
- I leave the ume plums in the liquor for about 3 years. After that I turn it into jam. https://cookpad.com/us/recipes/152440-umeshu-plum-jam (see recipe)
