HOW TO MAKE UMESHU 梅酒 (PLUM LIQUEUR)

Ingredients:

• CELLARMATE Air Tight Glass Jar (3.0L)
• 800g Ume (a small， green Japanese plum when unripe)
• 300g Rock Sugar
• 1.4 litres of Sake or the unflavoured alcohol used for making umeshu and other kinds of fruit liqueur.
• For 5.0L glass jar， increase the ingredients by 1.5 times.

1. Clean the jar with water， or if possible sterilize it by boiling the jar. Let it dry completely.

2. Thoroughly wash the ume in water， and throw away any mouldy fruit and de-stem them.

3. Thoroughly dry the ume. This is very important apparently.

4. Start “layering” the ume and rock sugar in the jar. So a layer of fruit， then a layer of rock sugar， then a layer of fruit， etc.，

until you run out.

5. Pour in your 1.4 litres of alcohol.

6. Put in a cool， dark cupboard.

7. Once a day， take it out and gently shake the jar to help the rock sugar dissolve. Do this everyday until it has all dissolved.

8. You’ve finished! Leave it in the cupboard， sit back and wait until it’s ready.

The umeshu will be ready in about 3 months， when you can drink it. However it is probably best to leave it longer to get a better taste. 6 months， 1 year or even longer are recommended.
