The Ume (Japanese plums) that have been pickled in Umeshu (Japanese plum wine) are delicious even if you eat them as they are, but you won’t be able to finish eating them.
In such a case, if you use plums as semi-dried fruits, most of the alcohol will be removed and it will turn into a delicious snack.
You can enjoy the moist and soft texture and the condensed taste of plums.
