Ume Boshi

I pickled Ume (Plum) in early July.
And now it's time for my Ume to get sunbath!
Sun will give my ume milder taste and also will preserve better~
(People really knew what to do best with nature back in old times....)

I don't have sunny backyard of my own,
so I decided to dry outside of my window.
with these basket idea
But I realized I need to flip Ume once a day, and it's kind of hard doing....
so end up drying just on the window like this

This is before
(skin still puffed like young girl)
And this is After 2days of sunbath
(Skin is like grand ma soft~)
My first time Ume boshi is now READY!!!
my mouth is watering by just looking at this~><
