I make this umeshu every year.I make it not so sweet, the way my family likes it.This is delicious made with 1 kg of ume plums, but I add a bit more for depth of flavor.If you don't have an alcohol sprayer, after sterilizing the jar in boiling water and drying it completely, put 10 ml of the distilled alcohol in the jar and shake it around. Discard the alcohol. Recipe by Hawaiantomato

Japanese plum syrup makes a great drink for summer!! Ume (plums) is known to be good for health and beauty in Japan. When you feel exhausted from summer heat, try this! My daughters also enjoy over shaved ice!!

Our plums are starting to ripen, and all at once. Here is how we process the ones we dont eat directly from the tree or give away. We added a Japanese plum wine recipe here and published a separate recipe for Amish plum wine.You can grow plum trees from ripe pits: scrub the pits, put in bowl of water, discard the floating ones, plant three pits in one planter hole in a large cloth planter pot with handles or in a planter bed in a sunny location.Plant in fall, they need winter cold to germinate. They will sprout in spring. Select the most vigorous one, remove other two.Drag planter pot around till you find a sunny location where the young plum tree flourishes.#GlobalApron

Plum soda is perfect for hot days.

Umeshu is fun drink to make you own and share with your loved ones!

I wanted to make something better than the commercial umeshu! I tried countless times to perfect the recioe, I've forgotten how many jars I've made. The final recipe has captured the hearts of my family, boyfriend and friends. It's an umeshu that is so good.Choose hard ume plums that have very little damage on the surface. The ume essence will be extracted into the liqueur easier, and the liqueur is less likely to become cloudy.Nankou-bai variety ume plums have the same-sized pits whether they are marked small or for 4 liters. The only difference is how much fruit is surrounding the pit. Pick meaty ones. Recipe by Umemikkii

Plums are ripe. We left our Santa Rosa plums on the tree till they fall off in the blankets we put under the tree. Then they are perfectly sweet and ripe to make plum wine.We make plum wine from the whole fruits. We mash the whole plums, ferment the plum juice, syphon off the fermented juice, discard the pits and skins.This Amish plum wine making recipe is excellent for beginners. No tools needed. 12% to 15% alcohol. This wine will be ready next year June/July when you make next year’s plum wine.#CA2025

Worth waiting for!

There's a bar I go to that makes lots of fruit liqueurs. They taste really good so I asked them how to make it at home and now I'm trying out lots of different flavors on my own .Add as much crystal rock sugar as you'd like, but if you make this drink really sweet, it will help preserve the fruit. A sweeter one tastes great when mixed with sodas or wine. Recipe by acchicchi

I made this after finding some pomegranates in the supermarket! I heard that pomegranates are particularly good for women as they contain a certain hormone so I'm looking forward to trying them!!After much thinking I decided to make a clear, white rum.Please steep the fruit of the pomegranates after thoroughly wiping away any excess water. I removed any pomegranate seeds that got crushed. After taking out the seeds, let the mixture rest for at least 6 months, or if you can wait that long, 1 year. Recipe by ka8to9

Whenever I've looked for a plum jam recipe they all describe countless hours of simmering in a saucepan. I'm too impatient for that so I tried using the method that I usually use to make strawberry jam to make a plum version and it turned it really well.Caution Please use a large, deep bowl as the jam has a tendency to bubble and spill over during cooking!You should be able to take any seeds out with ease after cooking.

Since Kahlua Milk exists, I thought that a tea version should work too! I wanted to try it, but around these parts they only sell tea liqueur in big bottles and it's expensive. I had some white liquor left over from making fruit liqueurs, so I sort of winged it to use up leftovers, but the results were pretty tasty.I recommend using Earl Grey tea, but other flavors should work too. You can use tea bags too, in which case, use about 3 bags. Rock sugar crystals, raw cane sugar or beet sugar should work too. 30 g is not that sweet, but the resulting liqueur is easy to use. If you are going to use the liqueur in cocktails, use up to 50 g of sugar, but it will be rather sweet. The alcohol content is quite high, so be careful not to drink too much. Try it as a flavoring in baked goods. Recipe by Minori105
