Sour plums

Sour plums!!  This is the last step of making sour plums.  I already dried them under the bright sunshine for three days and jut put them in the jar with the juice.  It is said it'll be good in 6 months, so we can start eating them next Jan or Feb.   I really like shiso leaves.  It makes plums reddish and taste good.


Have you ever tried some?  It is not sour at all but just salty.  You need salt to reserve food for a long time but I prefer less salt.  You can take too much salt, right?  But anyway why is it called sour plums?  It should be called salty plums.
