Ume Miso Project - Day 11 -
I guess I'm experiencing a positive change now. For the past couple of years, I didn't feel like cooking almost at all. You probably noticed it because I didn't post any photos of my own cooking.But lately I'm going back to my old habits. See? In addition to the ume juice project, I started this ume miso project as well.
For more information about ume miso, click here.
This is the photo of the preparation phase. I placed unripe green ume plums, sugar and miso alternately in a container.
And this was how it looked on day 11th (before stirring).
I stirred it thoroughly and left it rest again. :)
It should rest more... until these ume plums give out their juice and totally wrinkle up.
I'll keep you updated.
:)

Hi,Obachan? Does this mix of sugar and miso work with other vegetables? I've never seen ume here in my country... Thank you!
Having recently moved to Tokushima, I have been inundated with fresh vegetables given to me by local farmers. After seeing yamamomo for the first time yesterday, and wondering what to do with them, I hopped on the internet and found your blog entry about making jam.
I barely got the fruit taken care of when more produce appeared. Thank you for your blog and the recipes to help me be creative with the abundance. I am enjoying your blog very much!

Hi! Thanks for your comment, but sorry, I don't know. A friend of mine is thinking about trying this with regular plums instead of ume plums. But I doubt if the dressing will turn out as fragrant as the one with ume. Sorry I can't be of much help.

Hi! So happy to hear that you are in Tokushima. Yeah, I know how that is... fresh fruits and vegetables one after another! :D
Good luck with your yamamomo jam, if you decided to give it a try. I still remember how tiring to puree and strain the cooked yamamomo, so I haven't made jam with them since then. :P
In the end, I did not make any jam, but a "Fruit Crisp", which is my favourite way to eat most fruits, and the flavours worked perfectly with yamamomo. Unfortunately, I bought barley instead of oatmeal, and it didn't cook well. Ah well - now I know for next year!
