ume

from the tree

to the basket. you were thinking o ume pickle, umeshu (plum wine) but all these require extra ingredients that you don't have at home and got no time to drive to grocery store to get them...

hence, from a basket to a pot

turning them into jam

and it's finally put onto a spread, and it's worth the effort of boiling, skimping and turning the tarty fruit into something that you can enjoy.
home made jam.
