Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Soak green plums in salt water for two hours, using a ratio of 2 teaspoons of salt per pound of green plums to reduce the sour taste.

   

2. 2 Add the green plums to boiling water and boil for five minutes. Then boil the green plums at a ratio of 1 kilo of green plums to 1 teaspoon of salt and boil for about five minutes.

   

3. 3 Let the cooked green plums cool down (to room temperature) and remove the core in the middle.

   

4. 4 Put the cored green plums back into the pot and add rock sugar. The proportion of sugar accounts for about 1/3 of the volume of green plums (the proportion of sugar can be adjusted according to personal preference). It is best to add 1/6 teaspoon of salt to 1 pound of green plums. The effect of adding salt is to make the flavor more mellow; otherwise, if you add sugar alone, the taste will be thin. After boiling, simmer over low heat for ten minutes. Bottling.
