That's one of the reasons why you may want to freeze your ume.<br />Microwaving is another brilliant idea, because microwaving prevents the ume from fermentation, while freezing doesn't. Heating in a rice cooker for 8 hours or longer is not such a brilliant idea, in my opinion.Hiroyukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075672590298671343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-67198105740102721342017-07-09T00:37:56.601+09:002017-07-09T00:37:56.601+09:00Freezing - that's a brilliant idea.

I can't harvest all my ume at once, and in fact I can't even reach most of them this year, so freezing a few at a time would be very useful. - HelenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-46730037955415376792017-07-07T10:03:04.798+09:002017-07-07T10:03:04.798+09:00Amy:

Both children and adults can enjoy the flavor of ume by diluting the syrup with water (or carbonated water) and shochu (or any other spirit). <br /><br />I'm not quite sure but I don't think freezing the ume first has any noticeable impact on the flavor of the ume syrup.<br />Hiroyukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07075672590298671343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101980281470446262.post-78747600859138704372017-07-07T09:28:25.745+09:002017-07-07T09:28:25.745+09:00I can imagine how good the ume syrup tastes in dri...I can imagine how good the ume syrup tastes in drinks, especially with shochu! Do you think freezing the ume before microwaving it changes how the syrup turns out?Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08638548513164500123noreply@blogger.com
